MY REFUGE

  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

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”

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.

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.

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.
