  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...

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.

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.
