COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

POWER OR CHANGE

Philippians 4:1-8
Devotional:- “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (V.8) NLT

    Nothing can change in your life until the change commences from your heart. Changes from within will always give birth to outward change (Matthew 12:35). The key to change is always in the hand of men and the key is the choice of what we give our heart to thinking. If you choose to change your thinking pattern, about people, situations, and all about you, then your change has commenced.

In the scripture we read today, is a lesson on how to bring about our change. This is by limiting our thinking only to the pattern of God’s word. For this to be possible a man needs a total renewal of his mind. This is possible by daily bathing in the water of the word of God meditatively (Romans 12:2, John 15:3). God’s word can cleanse our mind if we wholly give ourselves to it with the meekness of the heart (Ephesians 5:26). Whatever you meditate on will be printed in your heart finally. Limit your thinking to what the word of God instructs and you will stay positive in all situations.

This is not the natural way to think but the grace of God will strengthen you. The truth is that, if you can change your mental focus you have changed your life. Receive grace.

Prayer: Lord, give me a new heart to think in a brand-new glorious way

“IF I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND, I CAN’T CHANGE YOUR LIFE”

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.

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.
