  JOYFUL MAN  Ephesians 5:25-33 Devotional:- “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself” (V. 28) NKJV Love is the summary of the great responsibility God has given to a man who wants to be happy in his home. Love is the attitude of the matured. Loving does not mean that all will be well. Loving your spouse is the act of molding and raising her for the best. That is why love in the family either to the spouse or the children should be with positive education (Ephesians 4:13-15). But love interprets so many things. Love is sacrificing time, money and self. It is creating time, money and self to help and build a united and happy home. Where there is love, there will be honour, which is the major weapon to win your wife (1 Peter 3:7). Not as becoming their subject, but understanding her nature and putting her where she belongs in your heart. A man who wants to be happy should also respect his wife and recognize her importanc...

PRIDE

2 Kings 14:7-14
Devotional:- “You have indeed defeated Edom and your heart has lifted you up. Glory in that and stay at home for why should…you fall and Judah with you” (V. 10)

    As much as the advancement we have seen in the development of the world and even your personal development, do you know that it will be wrong to think we have made it by our power (Deuteronomy 8: 11 – 20)? God is still in control of the affairs of men and He directs all things according to His will (Daniel 4:25). When people become proud, they will lose their focus on God to self and faith will no longer be necessary till they are destroyed.

King Amaziah of Judah as we read today has conquered some nations and he became proud. He wanted to fight Israel his sister nation contrary to the plan of God. The king of Israel warned him but his heart was proud and he faced the consequences.

Friend, pride is a trick of the enemy not to let you see the need for God, but to let you see yourself okay without Him. Watch out! If you give in to pride, the devil will only set you up without God for destruction (Proverb 11:2; 16:18). Please humble yourself to stay with your spouse. Don’t become rude, do not jump out in pride, be wise and you will prevail at last.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from pride.

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.
