  JOY IN PRAYERS I Samuel 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.” (V. 1) NKJV We often fall into depression when we look around us, and all we see are unanswered prayers. It becomes worse when you are despised and mocked for that thing that you are looking up to God for. Hannah was like that, a depressed and unhappy woman. What was Hannah’s secret that made her proclaim to all that “my heart rejoices in the Lord”? 1. She decided to look away from her oppressor 2. She went to God in prayer, pouring her sorrow to God.  3. She made a vow to give God the child 4. She left the presence of God, believing God answers prayer. Hannah made good her vow, and her joy was full. Are you depressed? Pour your heart to God, make a vow to him, and you will see him answer your prayers and your joy will Come. Prayer: Lord, help me to look up to you, not look down o...

YOUR COMPANY

YOUR COMPANY

2 Kings 6:8-23
Devotional:- “So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (V. 16) NKJV

    If you do not have the right company around you, the devil will help you compose one. All of us have to be spiritually conscious that some spiritual forces are always around us (Exodus 33:14, Psalms 91:11). We know this by our feelings because we are also spiritual beings. It is only the body we live in that has limited us to be able to have a physical view of them. But then, you need to know that you are the one who determines the forces that stand around you.

In the scripture we read today, Elisha the man of God received God’s revelations of what the enemy was planning and will always reveal it to the king. This was bringing great victory for the nation of Israel. The enemy was not happy and then planned to arrest the man of God. When the army came, his servant was afraid, but he quickly helped him to see the forces with them and he too gained confidence. All you need to build faith and confidence in the pursuit of your assignment is to see God’s presence with you always (Psalms 16:8)

Friend, you determine the forces around you by what you imagine. If what you see in your mind is the presence of the Lord and His host, the enemy dare not come near you. But if you always see devil, demon, and evil in your mind you will always have what you see (Titus 1:15). You can just set yourself free from those nightmares and daymares by changing your mind to agree with the word of God that God is with you (Psalms 23:4). Be careful of the films you watch and books you read. These are what determine your imagination. Now you are stepping into peace in Jesus' name.

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see you with me always.

“WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU HAVE”

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.

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.
