  JOY BEAUTIFIES Proverbs 15:10-20 Devotional:- “A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit” (v.13) NLT It is important that people in this generation realise that joy is one of the secrets of beauty. There is no one who does not love to look beautiful in life; people do so much to preserve their beauty. The truth is that it charms the heart of men. It is a strength for influence. It is a language that both men and women understand. Someone who lacks beauty may also be lacking in the school of favour. Don’t let anyone deceive you that it is not necessary to be beautiful. In this world, the way you look determines the way you will be treated (1 Samuel 16:7). We only need to identify true and godly beauty. God’s word says, “Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!” (Proverbs 31:30) AMPC. The vain beauty is that of the face, but the one from t...

STANDING ON

Acts 27:13-25
Devotional:- “For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,” (V.23) NKJV

    Faith is standing upon the word of God. This is basing your calmness and confidence on what God said. You will know a man of faith by his measure of calmness and peace irrespective of the challenging situations he faces. He will not be moved by anything that is happening. Why? He has heard God and that He is enough for him. He is not fearful but calm. In other words, within him, he has overcome the war.

In the scripture we read today is a terrible situation that confronted Paul the apostle and all that were with him on the ship. There was a great storm that had been on for days and weeks. They have faced so much loss of property, wealth, and even confidence. But among them was Paul, he was not joining them to panic and expect death. He was standing on what God said, so he had peace. Because he had heard from God, he concluded, “There shall be no loss of life” (Act 27:22).

Have you heard God speak to you about your situation, either through your Bible reading or your pastor’s message? Friend, that is enough to deliver you (John 8:32). Stand upon this word of God and give up your struggles. God is up to His word. He will not say what he is not able to do, but you can allow or disallow Him by the state of your heart. Stop that fear; tell yourself if he has said it, He is up to it. Take your peace and see the salvation of the Lord. There shall be no loss.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always stand on your word.

“WHEN GOD SPEAKS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE SAYS, THEN YOU CAN’T DOUBT HIS WORD”

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.
