WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

JEALOUS GOD

JEALOUS GOD

Exodus 34:9-17
Devotional:- “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord whose name is Jealous is a jealous God” (V. 14) NKJV

    Jealousy is one of the strong natures of God and you need to recognize your God as a jealous God. Ignorance of this has thrown many into the pit of regret. We should all learn to be careful not to provoke our God into jealousy. God's jealousy is a product of His great love toward His people. That Is why it is also natural for men to be jealous. How do you feel when someone is beating your children or spouse? That is why a parent cannot be allowed to come and be in class with their children.

In the scripture we read today, God said, we should never worship any other god. The reason is because He created those other gods and they are not even gods. They are only turned into gods by human ignorance. And when the true God sees you bowing to fake gods, you make Him jealous. If God is blessing a man and the man begins to glorify an idol for the blessing, God's wrath will surely come upon both the blessing and the idols (Exodus 12:12).

You therefore need to be careful of the way you worship your car, house, business, finances, family, or even your ability. It does not take God a minute to destroy it if you activate His jealousy. Always appreciate Him for all things (John 3:27). Recognize the purpose of His blessing. It is that we might be a blessing to others on His behalf. Be willing to use His blessing in your life for His glory and your blessings will not be cursed (Malachi 2:2). Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be willing to worship you with all that I have.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
