  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...

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.

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.
