  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

LOOSE TONGUE

LOOSE TONGUE

II Samuel 1:1-16
Devotional:- “So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?” (V.14) NKJV

    The greatest challenge in the life of some people is their loose tongue. That is a tongue that cannot be controlled. They open it to say all sorts of things. There is no word too heavy for them to utter. To them, it is a pleasure to abuse others. They see it as a game. So, in abusing no one must win them. They know all the words to describe and make a man feel troubled. Little do they know that they have taken to wrong path of life. James 1:26, 1 Peter 3:10,

The man we read about today put himself into great trouble because of his loosed tongue. He took pleasure in coming to report the death of the king. A loose tongue puts people in trouble (Proverbs 6:2). A word once said is not retrievable. If you have this weakness you have to grow out of it.

People trap themselves with their words. They expose their matter to their enemy unconsciously. They expose their spouse and destroy their family’s unity with their mouth. Many have problems today that are traceable to loose mouth at one time or the other.

To overcome this, learn to caution your lips. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Always weigh your word before you say it. Refrain your lips (James 1: 19). God’s word says even a fool is considered wise when he shuts his lips (Proverbs 17: 27-28). Let your words only bless. Stop cursing, let your word encourage and help people and not destroy them (Colossians 4: 6). Deny yourself of the carnal nature that wants to push you to talk loosely. Fill your heart with the word of God, and then your mouth will speak the word. Choose to speak the words of God rather than mere words. Stop emulating corrupt slang, slogans, or music. The Holy Spirit will take over your mouth for His glory. You are changing for good in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, TOUCH MY TONGUE TO BUILD AND NOT TO DESTROY

“YOUR WORDS ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR HEART”

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.

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.
