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...

YOUR BACKGROUND

YOUR BACKGROUND 

I Samuel 9:17-22
Devotional:- “Pardon me, sir, “Saul replied, I’m from the tribe of Benjamin, the Smallest in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of the tribe! You must have the wrong man!” (V. 21) TLB

    It is often said that every man is a product of his background. Just like every stream is a product of its source. Sometimes, no amount of training can change a person, as their background remains a significant factor. He may be afraid to do some wrong things in front of others, but in private, he might be doing it. Asking some people to divorce their background is like asking them to die. Yet some people live in backgrounds that will never make them succeed or excel in life. If we focus on our background, we could disqualify ourselves from being able to attain great achievements in life

You need to stop looking at your background to determine your tomorrow. Yes, background influences your destiny, and that is the reason for the new birth experience in Christ so we can have a new background. Old things need to pass away in our lives, and part of it is our weak background (2 Corinthians 5: 17). If you are born again, the nature of God is born into your spirit man. So you have a royal background in Christ Jesus and your future is kingly (1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 5:9-10).

Jesus brought you from the former to the new. (Galatians 3: 13-14). Stop condemning yourself like Saul. God always loves to give people of no-good backgrounds a glorious future. He removes people from the back or on the ground to the front in a glorious place. Settle it in your heart that you are moving from that background to your glorious place in Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, BRING ME TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MY NEW BACKGROUND.

“A MAN CAN MOVE FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT BY FAITH IN CHRIST”

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.
