  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

HOPE

Romans 4:13-22
Devotional:- “who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be" (V. 18) NKJV

    Today so many people have come to believe that having hope is wrong. They think life is better based on fate and not faith. Fate is whatever life can bring but faith is the assurance of what God can do. If you cannot be hopeful then you cannot wait to see the great work of God in your life.

Friend, get to know that it is only a man of hope who can be a man of faith (Hebrews 11:1). God will not be able to do in you more than you can hope in Him. That is why you must work to see the revival of positive hope in your life.

In the scripture we read today, though Abraham had reasons to be hopeless, he retained his hope in the sure word of God. Your hope will move God to action. Even though he was old, he had experienced several years of childlessness. His wife had passed the stage of menopause, yet he knew that God’s word was too certain.

Friend, if only you can change your mind and start to hope in God’s promises for your life against all odds, then God’s word will begin to have His course in your life. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, let your word bring a new light to my heart.

“LIGHT AND HOPE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER, ONE ESTABLISHES THE OTHER”

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.

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.
