HOPE

HOPE Psalm 42:1-11 Devotional:- “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God” (v.11) NKJV If any man will experience sustaining joy, he must first be hopeful. Hope is the strength of joy. Hope is the reason for the coming joy. It is an expectation according to the will of God. It is an assurance of a coming joy (Hebrews 12:2). It is also the strength of faith (Hebrews 11:1). If there is no hope, there may also not be joy, but a man of hope will continue in joy. Oftentimes, we observe the current happenings around us, and it looks like there is no hope. The truth is that current events are not the determining factor for our tomorrow. God’s word says we cannot compare the suffering of now to the glory that is coming (Romans 8:18). The truth is that no hope can be genuine till it has a sure and certain promise. This is a promise that cannot fail, and that is why our hope should be in...

WRONG ASSOCIATION

WRONG ASSOCIATION               

Proverbs 13:18-21
Devotional:- “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed” (V. 20) NKJV

    It is not in the plan of God that we live our lives in any form of bondage.

That is why Jesus came to set man free from whatever binds him (1 John 3:8). Some people see Christianity as a form of bondage, but that is not true. If there is anything that looks like that, it is to keep us from what will keep us in the bondage of the devil. That is why Jesus says, “Come unto me all you who labor and are heavily laden and I will give you rest”. Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Mathew 11:28-30) 

Today, many people have put themselves in great trouble by wrong association and they can’t find their way out. This has put so much load on them. Through this, some people have been influenced into terrible and destructive habits. Some associations will even help people make money but they take eternal life from them. Some people have to do some terrible things because of the associations they belong to. Though those things are destructive to them, but they can’t help the situations. Every form of bad habit is contacted by bad associations. Even common sense shows that smoking and drinking are bad but people fall into this trap by association.

The way out of wrong and destructive association is to divorce them for the right one. But how do you know the right association? This is a fellowship of people who call upon God. If you don’t do away with wrong associations, your life and destiny are at stake. Association shapes the life of a man. Since you can’t do without an association, the way out is to replace it. Until you part with some people your life will never progress. If you don’t put an end to that wrong gathering, they may soon end your life (2 Corinthians 6:17). Call it a quit with wrong association and the help of God will begin to come to you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO QUIT ALL WRONG ASSOCIATIONS.

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.
