GOOD WILL

  GOOD WILL Luke 2:8-14 Devotional:- “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (V. 14) NKJV A great blessing of God to humanity at the birth of Christ is goodwill. A nation without it is completely under bondage. They cannot claim, nor ask, nor can they have anything from the Lord except by the common grace (Matthew 5:25). This is what the sons of men are before the coming of the Messiah. Men have been living under the pressure and the punishment of sin and the law. Men were governed spiritually by the law they were never capable of obeying. When Jesus came, then came the time of grace. This brought us into the season of the goodwill of God (Ephesians 2:8). Will is what every father writes to give the right of inheritance to each of the children. Before Christ, God’s will was not approachable for men. It was not favorable for a natural man. But God gave us another will in Christ Jesus. This is what the angel was announcing in verse 14. We refer to it t...

DREAMS

Genesis 41:1-8
Devotional:- “Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh” (V.8) NKJV

    There is hardly a man, who does not dream. A dream is quite different from a vision, though vision could be communicated through dreams. Dreams have become a way by which the devil has tormented many people. Such people experience bad dreams and they become afraid and troubled. We could see the same thing happening in the scripture we read today.

As children of God, our dreams are not supposed to trouble us. As we observe in the scripture, there are three major sources by which dreams come to us. Some are from God to communicate His counsel to us. An example is the one we read today. Anytime such comes your way, pray to the Holy Spirit to explain them to you and He will. Another source comes from many activities. That is, the thought we fill our mind with (Ecclesiastes 5:3). If you are thinking about someone, you could easily dream about him or her.

The third source is from the devil. This is the one that always terrifies people and lures them into confusion. Anytime you find yourself in any dream you don’t like, wake up and erase it in the name of Jesus. Don’t be bound by any bad dream. They are like the negative of a photograph, if you don’t develop them, they will not become real. You bring it to life by meditating on it repeatedly. When the dream is confusing, erase it by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 9:22)

Don’t allow dreams to determine your thoughts. If not, they will come to pass. The moment you cancel it, it is cancelled (Isaiah 54:17). You need to grow strong to be able to guide your heart against negative thoughts (Proverbs 4:23). Throw the thought to the waste bin and live by faith. Let the word of God become the standard of your faith and thought (Philippians 4:8). Don’t give in to the deceit of the devil. Your God is not the author of confusion. You are created for glory and that is what will manifest in your life in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO ALWAYS OVERCOME BAD DREAMS.

“BAD DREAMS ARE BAD SIGNAL, ERASE IT”

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.

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.
