  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...

STATE OF HEART

Mark 11:20-26
Devotional:- “So Jesus answered and said to them, “have faith in God” (V. 22) 

    Even though God is so powerful and mighty many of us have limited the manifestation of His power in our life. This is due to the state of our mind. The state of the heart of a man is what determines the state of his faith.

In the scripture we’ve read, Jesus was expecting fruits from a tree and He did not find any, so He cursed the tree (Mark 11:14). At that time the disciples did not understand the power that had gone out with that word. But when they were coming back the second day, one of them noticed the tree Jesus cursed had dried. He then called the attention of Jesus to it. But Jesus said, “Have faith in God”. Another version said, “Have faith of God.” That is God’s kind of faith. He then explained God’s kind of faith. The word of God says if we speak to a mountain to move and we doubt not in our heart it shall be so. This means the state of your heart towards God determines how heaven will respond to you.

Friend, the state of your heart needs to be in a positive state all the time. That is why you need the help of the Holy Spirit. If you can just change your mind and decide to be positive and never negative (doubtful) you will always have what you are asking (Mark 11:23). Many are too pessimistic to walk with God. They always expect evil and negative. Please ask for the grace for a positive mind, your life has no option but to respond to your heart (Proverb 23:7).

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to grow a positive heart in my life.

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.

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).

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.
