GREATNESS

  GREATNESS   Luke 1:26-37 Devotional:- “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David” (v.32) NKJV One of the strong prophecies that was spoken about Jesus was that He would be great. I have discovered with time that lasting greatness is given by God. Therefore, it becomes unattainable only by labour but by God’s favour. You hardly see anyone who doesn’t desire to be great, but greatness is life's answer to a few people. This is not because many people don’t labour for it, but because God did not approve their greatness. I need to bring you to an understanding of how to contact true greatness. It comes through the combination of virtues called labour and favour. These two virtues come from both man and God, respectively. Man labour but God favour. Anyone can easily give himself to effective labour, but if the favour of God does not come on it, greatness may not respond. We have a blessing in the birt...

BAD HABIT

BAD HABIT

II Kings 5:11-26
Devotional:- “But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him” (V. 20) NKJV

    So many people on earth would have been successful except for the bad habits in their lives. Such grows in our lives when we are careless about them. We are creatures made to be able to create habits. There are success habits and there are failure habits. Success habits will guarantee you success and failure habits will surely bring failure. Habits are what we are used to but it is no longer easy to depart from. People would have corrected us but we refused to listen. We need to be aware that bad habits are there to ruin our lives. You must therefore be willing to see its end before it sees your end.

The man we read about today is one of the most privileged men that ever lived. He should have automatically become the next prophet in Israel. He is the next in command to the prophet. Many people are already expecting the next mantle to fall on him. The rest of the prophets in the land will always envy him, simply because he was the next expected prophet. But this bad habit in his life would not let him get there. He was greedy; he went and accepted the gift his master rejected and ended up his destiny.

Friend, do not let any habit stop your success. Pull out of the association that locks you with this habit (Proverb 13:20). Choose the company of achievers, children of God, and men of honour. Introduce the opposite of that bad habit and ask the Holy Spirit to destroy this habit in your life. Regularly listen to the word of God. Soon your life will change and your glory shall come.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO DESTROY THE BAD HABIT IN ME BEFORE IT DESTROYS ME.

“A BAD HABIT NOT DESTROYED WILL DESTROY DESTINY”

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.
