FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING

IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING

Number 23:5-25
Devotional:- “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?" (V. 8) KJV

    Thanks be to God who always proves Himself as God in our lives. If not for Him, what shall we say today? Sometimes people become envious of another’s progress and they allow their envy to turn to wickedness. Some people always have evil desires against others. When they see someone blessed, they desire rather that such be cursed. But they do not know that God‘s blessing cannot be cursed (Romans 11:29).

When Balak saw God's people the Israelites he conceived an intention against them. He thought of bringing Balaam the prophet to curse them so that they would be cursed for destruction. When Balaam came, he opened his mouth to speak and blessing was rather coming out of it. And at last, he told Balak that it is impossible to curse a man that the Lord has blessed. Such a curse will only return on the owner (Proverbs 26:2; Genesis 12:3).

That is why you must desire only the blessing of the Lord. Just remain under the coverage of His blessing. As a covenant child, you need to know that you are blessed with the blessing of Abraham (Galatians 3:13-14). If you will keep being obedient to the Lord your God these blessings cannot but manifest in your life (Deuteronomy 28:1-2). Because you are blessed by the Lord no curse can prosper over your life again. Stop being afraid of curses you are already blessed.

Prayer: Lord, let no curse affect me and my family anymore.

“IF YOU CURSE A BLESSED MAN, YOU WILL ALSO BE CURSED”

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.
