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...

WISDOM TO GATHER

WISDOM TO GATHER

Genesis 41:46-57
Devotional:- “And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting for it could not be measured” (V. 49) AMPL

    One of the great virtues that have eluded the life of many people on the earth is the inability to gather good fortune in life. This in turn produces poverty and an inability to achieve good and great things in life. Since many do not understand what is wrong with them, they then resort to looking for wealth through any means good or bad. But let me introduce you to a God who can teach you to profit and give you the power to gather good wealth.

Joseph was a young man exalted in the land of Egypt. During the time of his rulership in the land, God gave him wisdom to gather. And he was successful in the assignment given to him by the king. What wisdom is this? It is wisdom that comes as a virtue of God’s grace. He never saw any of the goods as belonging to him. So, he lives in faithfulness, integrity, loyalty and self-discipline. Not by power nor by might nor by any human ability.

When a life is submitted to God in obedience to His instructions, He guides and empowers to gather. It is therefore a product of knowing the will of God and doing it. It is a product of asking God what to do and doing it (Isaiah 1:19). Then He will be able to lead us into abundance that is more than our needs (Psalm 23:1). And we will need the grace to deny ourselves to start to set things aside no matter how little. Savings is not just a practice but an attitude. There are several ways to walk in this. You can enquire about this. Joseph started saving 20% of the land till he lost count. As soon as you take up this attitude you will have your gathering as the sand of the sea in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, teach my hand to gather.

“WHEN YOU ENJOY GRACE TO GATHER YOU CANNOT BUT ENTER INTO YOUR WEALTH”

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.
