  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...

LACK OF HELP

LACK OF HELP

Psalm 121:1-8
Devotional:- “I look up to the mountains- does my help come from there?” (V. 1) NLT

    God has not created man to succeed alone. He created us to need each other. And that is where help comes in. No man can achieve or attain anything without the help of God. No one can truly receive help from others unless God approves it for them (II Kings 6:27).

The statement of King David that we read today shows that he needed help and was looking to the mountains for help. Many people often don’t find help when they need it. Some don’t even know who to turn to at all, yet it is not the plan of God that we lack help.

To begin to enjoy the help of God, stop looking at the mountains for help. The mountain here represents people you know or the connections you have made for yourself. It also means having confidence in people. If you make people the focus of your help, you will always be disappointed. God should be the focus of our help. He will indeed use men, yet we should not see these men as the source of our help but God.

So, start to turn to Him in prayer, asking for His help and you will go out to begin to meet the help of Cod in your ways. Stop depending on men, start looking unto God for help. Soon your help shall be daily till you become great in Jesus name. (I Chronicles 12:22).

PRAYER: LORD, LET THERE BE DAILY HELP FOR ME FROM NOW.

“GOD IS THE SOURCE; MAN IS ONLY A MEANS”

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.
