  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

NEVER FORGET

Isaiah 49:13-17
Devotional:- "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you" (V. 15) NKJV

    Often time situations and circumstances make us think God has forgotten us. It may even look as if you call and He does not answer. Some people even feel God has no concern for them. But all these are feelings of ignorance of the nature of our God.

In the scripture we read today, God asked a question that can a nursing mother forget to breastfeed her sucking child. All of us know that except the woman is not with the child, that cannot happen. And God said even if they do, He can never forget us. You need to know that He created you for a purpose. And this is for His glory and honor. This makes you to be so important that it becomes impossible for Him to forget you.

Even if a man is wayward, yet God is always looking for a means of restoring him for His glory. No matter what your situation is you need to understand that He can never forget you. All things shall work together for your good at last (Romans 8:28). It shall at last turn to a testimony for you (Luke 21:13). I will encourage you to sow a seed of faith unto the Lord. It may be materials or your service to God. This is not to bribe God but to help you humble yourself and serve in His kingdom. You need to know that He made you to serve Him (1 Peter 2:9, Isaiah 43:21). Do it joyfully and from your heart. Your hope shall be revived for a glorious testimony and you shall be lifted.

Prayer: Lord, remember me and help me.

MASTER’S MINAS

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.

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.
