  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...

DOUBT

James 1:2-8
Devotional:- “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” (V.6) NKJV

    We need to understand the great effect of doubt. The moment we doubt, we agree with the devil to think and believe that God is not able. This will always bring man to the point of unbelief. Please know that it is in the principle of God that under this atmosphere He will not do anything (James 1:8)

Let us quickly locate the root of doubt and then we will have to deal with it. Doubt is a product of fear. Whenever an issue becomes dreadful, people quickly grow cold in faith and becomes doubtful. But why do men become afraid? Fear is a product of our focus on the problem. Then the enemy helps to falsely magnify the problem above the ability of God. This makes people conclude that God cannot help. Then, who then will? So, tension begins to build up.

If we can keep our focus on God and His power alone, we will not be afraid. And if we are not afraid, we will not doubt. Friend, watch out, for what you hear and see (Mark 4:24). The aim is to take your focus from God to your inability. Please always remember that with God all things are possible.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my focus on you alone.

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.
