COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

THE LORD IS GOOD

Psalm 136:1-10
Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever" (V. 1) NKJV

    When you consider how people behave to you, sometimes you will be tempted to conclude that people are not good. The truth is that most people don't live in the love of God and this makes us not to be good to others. This might be as a result of human's limitation. We often over-expect from one another. The person we are expecting from may not be as we have pictured him/her in our mind. Yes, it might be challenging to say that some people are good but the Bible says the Lord is good.

You must accept this truth to enjoy your walk with God. Even though as Christians we go through different seasons for different reasons. Sometimes God may be correcting us in such season and to us it may not look very pleasant (Hebrews 12:6-11). Sometimes God may want to teach us something. Sometimes God may consciously delay some things from coming to us for the sake of right timing.

But in the long run, you will discover that the Lord is good. His goodness makes Him have a good plan for everyone even your family. When you understand that the Lord is good, it will make you appreciate His deed in your life. Then life cannot but start to appreciate you. There is no way our little mind can comprehend His deeds. But the word of God says He is a good God. He will surely make His goodness known to you.

Prayer: Lord, make my life to witness your goodness.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
