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...

TERRIBLE BOSS

TERRIBLE BOSS 

I Samuel 22:9-19
Devotional:- “Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me." But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord” (V.17) NKJV

    People who do not understand leadership principles or work in it and yet are leaders are often found as bosses. Such people are not there to lead others by example but to destroy the company with their office. They are not ready to serve but only want to lord over others. They have no good plan for their company or nation but they are selfish in their thinking. There is nothing such people cannot do when the power is in their hands.

Some Christians find themselves in an office with such people in leadership and that becomes a challenge for such a child of God. Such Christians could be sent on any wrong assignment that would be against their faith. Such is King Saul we read about today. He was so terrible that he did not see it as wickedness to kill the priest of God. But some people under him still have the fear of God and they will not join in this evil

As a child of God, if you are faced with this kind of challenge around you, what you need to do is ask for the wisdom of God to relate with such a leader successfully. Let them know you as a child of God who will not compromise with unrighteousness. That will create a limit to the extent they will want to get you involved in their act. Always commit such leaders to the hand of the Lord. When you are to work with such a leader, pray that God clothe you with His fear and glory. Pray that the Lord will touch his heart before you get to him (Proverbs 21:1). Humble yourself also, but firm. Then you will see the goodness of the Lord. While others are shouted on, you will be humbly welcomed. Don’t join anyone to do evil because he is your boss. God will make you special to him. He will be afraid of God in you and you will be flourishing in famine.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE WISDOM TO STAND NOTWITHSTANDING.

“WITH THE WISDOM OF GOD, EVEN THE WICKED WILL HONOUR 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.
