SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

CONFUSION

I Corinthians 14:32-33
Devotional :- “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints” (V. 33) NKJV

    Confusion is a state of the heart when you don’t know what to do next amid situations. A man could come into such a state when he feels uncomfortable with the counsel of others. This could happen when someone believes they have good ideas but the ideas are not working. This could also occur when a man is not patient enough to consider his ways before making decisions. This could happen when a man finds himself in an unexpected situation that affects him beyond his control. It is often an aftermath of failure.

There are a few things you have to know about confusing situations. Whatever you may be confused about now, understand that God is not the author of confusion. In other words, it is not God that you are confused. Everything that is from God goes with peace, orderliness and understanding.

If you feel confusion in your heart about anything in your life, it’s important to stay calm and relaxed, Please know that it is not over, so you don’t need to harm yourself because of that. Things will soon be back in shape. If your heart is heavy over a matter, why not put it aside first and be grateful for the good things God has been doing for you? See the need to appreciate Him by thanking him sincerely. Then the Holy Spirit will comfort your heart with His peace. You cannot get out of the situation by thinking over and over about it, and trying to find the way out on your own. In the course of you thanking God, the Holy Spirit will bring your heart to the light of understanding. Seek the counsel of men of God who you have tested and approved. Then believe that the Lord will take control. Whatever the Holy Spirit instructs you to do, please do it. Your peace and joy will be restored and your life will begin to find new shape. This is your year!

PRAYER: LORD, LET YOUR PEACE AND JOY FILL MY HEART AGAIN.

“EVERY DECISION TAKEN IN CONFUSION MAY LEAD TO FURTHER FRUSTRATION”.

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 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.
