WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

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.

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.

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.
