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...

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.

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). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
