GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

LONELINESS          

I King 19:1-10
Devotional:- “So he said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life” (V. 10) NKJV

    There is a common saying that “everything that has advantages also has disadvantages”. For example, one of the adverse effects of technological development in the world today is loneliness. The development we have in technology is fantastic but it is making us become far from one another. For example, since you can connect with a friend or relative on the telephone, you don’t need to see him/her again. We don’t have to go to the cinema houses before we can enjoy a good movie; it can be watched in individual homes on television. This has become what is greatly contending with our time, faith, and relationship with family, friends and God. Most movies keep you indoors for five hours or more. But all of these cannot replace the joy of being together with our loved ones.

If you are feeling lonely today, for one reason or the other, there is a way out. Please know that Jesus felt so when He was on the Cross (Mathew 27: 46). So also did Elijah the man of God we read about today. You need to be out of the situation soon. Loneliness can destroy your self-esteem and make you feel like nobody cares. It can make life look miserable. It could make a man begin to act wickedly against himself and it can open the door of oppression from the devill/ 

During such challenge, always remember the promise of Jesus to always be with you (Mathew 28:20). See Him around you always in your mind by faith, whether you are sleeping or awake. The Holy Spirit also lives in you and God the Father always watches over you. You can’t have the triune God with you and still feel lonely. You only need to communicate in the Spirit. One of the ways is by making melodies in your heart to God (Ephesians 5: 19). Anytime you are praising God, the host of heaven will always join you in singing the choruses (Psalm 22:3, Hebrew 12:22). Hear them with the ear of the Spirit. Always see Jesus beside you standing to follow you everywhere you go. Always be conscious of the angels of God around you singing and praying with you. They carry your prayers and songs to God’s presence as sacrifices and supplications. Don’t forsake the gathering of God's children (Hebrew 10:25). Then you will begin to enjoy great company and peace.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO CARRY THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR PRESENCE ALWAYS.

“WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU, THERE ARE INNUMERABLE COMPANIES WITH YOU”

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.

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.
