  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

HARVEST IN FAMINE

HARVEST IN FAMINE 

Genesis 26:1-14
Devotional:- Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you” (V.2) NKJV

    Human migrations are always caused by many factors but one of the strongest is when there is famine in a land. Human reasoning will tell us that wise people should move to another place. The poor are always the victims of such. So, Isaac thought it wise to move to the land of Egypt where there was much food.

But God told him to remain in the land and that He would be with him (Genesis 26:3). There was nothing on the ground to prove that God would do what He said but His faithfulness. There are no evidential circumstances to encourage Isaac. All the weather forecasters have said the farming will be long. Many rich people who could afford the cost of traveling to Egypt were migrating in thousands. But God said that Isaac should wait. And that year he had his miracle harvest.

This is your year. Don’t follow the multitude. Stay where God asked you to stay. It is not where you are but who you are that matters to God. The place people called barren shall be fruitful for you. You shall wax great in the land. Your harvest shall be hundredfold. The most important thing is, you are doing what God is asking you to do. And men shall envy your blessing.

Prayer: Lord, help me to obey you no matter what.

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). 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.

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.
