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...

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”

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.
