  REMOVE SORROW Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 Devotional:- “Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity” (v.10) NKJV One of the strongest weapons the devil uses against our lives is sorrow. The most common problem most people have is sustaining their joy. The truth is that no one can succeed with sorrow. See, it is the goal of the devil to keep you in sorrow. When you are sad, he celebrates. This is because he knows the effect of sorrow, which most of us are unaware of. Many things encourage sorrow in the human life; some of such are disappointment and discouragement. Some people ignorantly have sorrow because of their bitterness toward everyone, even against God and themselves. But you need to know that when you are sorrowful, you can't relate with God for solution. In sorrow, a man’s mental, spiritual and physical systems are broken down (Proverbs 15:13). It could easily lead to sickness and death (Proverbs 17:22; II Corin...

BITTER TURNED SWEET

BITTER TURNED SWEET

Exodus 15:22-27
Devotional:- “So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,” (V. 25) NKJV

    Your God can turn what is bitter to be sweet. When you see or experience anything bitter, you will understand that it has an element of bitterness and that is the reason for your experience. Then, human wisdom will tell you that unless you eliminate the bitter element it cannot be sweet. But God can turn that which has been bitter to be sweet. You don't need to divorce your spouse or quit business. That bitter water can be turned sweet.

As the Israelites journeyed in the wilderness, apart from the fact that water was not always abundant in the desert, the only one available was bitter. The word bitter here could mean poisonous. When this came to the notice of Moses, he cried to God in prayers and God showed him a tree to be cut and dropped into the water. And the bitter water suddenly became sweet. It became pleasant and good.

God can do the same in your life. He can turn around your experience for glory. That tree is Jesus. When He steps in, bitterness will depart. That is why you have to start to take His Word more seriously in your life. Obedience to His instructions will deliver you from destruction. When you open up and allow His word to mold you change will immediately commence. That same house, business, or ministry can be sweet again. All you need to do is to allow Him to take total control. Let His word governs your affairs. Let His principles be your principles. Then, you are in for a sweet season. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to submit to your rulership over my affairs.

“WHEN HE IS IN CONTROL, ALL THINGS WILL SUBMIT TO HIS WILL”

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.
