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...

PRESENCE OF GOD

Genesis 28:10-22
Devotional:- “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land: for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you”(v.15)

    God is not just present everywhere; His presence is always available, particularly with His people. He said wherever two or three of us may be He will always be there (Matthew 18:20). He has promised never to live nor forsake His children (Hebrews 13:5). It means His presence thus not depart as we always think. It is only our iniquity that can separate us from Him (Isaiah 59:2).

At the time Jacob was running away from his brother Esau, he never could imagine that God was with him. He felt he had offended his brother, forgetting that the brother had sold his birthright to him and God was in no way offended since it is by His covenant (Genesis 25:23). As Jacob lay down to rest in his journey, God gave him a revelation of His presence. And God gave him a covenant.

Friend, the covenant is also for you. God said He would not leave you until He has fulfilled all His promises concerning you. Wherever you are, His presence will be there with you. Either you are in motion or on a spot. That is why you will surely prosper because His presence comes with joy and pleasure (Psalm 16:11). And He will surely see you through your challenges.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be conscious of your presence.

“GOD‘S PRESENCE WILL SURELY PRESERVE AND PROSPER YOU”

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.
