  LIVING WITH PURPOSE Proverbs 19:16-23 Devotional – “You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail” (v. 21 NLT) Living on purpose is the only way to really live; everything else just merely exists. Most people struggle with these three questions in life; WHO AM I? (Identity); WHY AM I MADE? (Purpose); WHAT IS MY PLACE IN LIFE? (Impact). The answers to these entire questions are found in five Gods purpose for you. Now that you know God’s purpose for your life, it is important you live in it. For you not to drift away from the most important things of life, it is important to develop a purpose statement for your life and regularly review it. This is a statement that summarizes God’s purpose for your life (Psalm 39:11). It is a statement that point the direction of your life (Proverbs 4:26). It spells out what you are to do and what not (Proverbs 17:24). It is a statement that defines success for you (Philippians 1:10). It is a statement that clarifies your roles and i...

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

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.
