  APPRECIATE HIM Psalms 136:1-9  Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (V.1) NKJV Most people have not started to enjoy God to the maximum. because they have not fully imbibed the wisdom of appreciation. No relationship will be able to survive for a long time if the spirit of appreciation is not imbibed. Can you imagine that you plan to buy something for someone you love, though you do not have the means but embarked on saving towards it. At last you successfully get the gift, rapped it beautifully with a rapper and present it to your friend. All that your friend did was to receive it and just say, “That is good,” in a frowning way. And he started talking about something else to make you forget about the gift. You will feel disappointed and almost regret your effort. This and others are what most men do to God. We do not know that it is costing God so much to keep us alive. Can you imagine the challenges mummy went through b...

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.

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.
