  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...

VIPER AT MELITA

VIPER AT MELITA

Acts 28:1-7
Devotional:- “However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god” (V.6) NKJV

    The world is not yet converted to the Lord because they have not encountered the power of God in their lives. Most Christians are unbelieving Christians and this is because they do not know the truth. Jesus said, except they see signs and wonders they will not believe (John 4:48). Till now, many Christians still enjoy playing safe in life. They are not ready to become a vessel of God’s wonder.

Paul having passed through a challenging time, while he was trying to warm himself, a viper or serpent held on to his hand. A cobra bit him. He just shook the viper into the fire and continued his life. In his mind, he can't be harmed (Mark 16:17-18). The people expected him to die but when he did not, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

Friend, your fear has not allowed you to be a miracle. And it has chased many from believing your God. Do you know God lives in you (1 Corinthians 3:16)? Do you know that Jesus has given you all authority (Luke 10:19)? Don’t let sickness destroy your destiny. Some people even rejoice in their sickness and celebrate it. They talk about it like a good thing. You cannot afford to be a victim. You are a victor. Seek to know the truth. Pick books written by men of faith on the subject of your concern. Then, your faith will rise and your affliction will be over. Arise and win.

Declaration: I cannot afford to fail, I WILL ARISE.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU SEE IN YOUR MIND ABOUT YOURSELF”

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.
