  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

HOPE DEFERRED

Job 14:6-9
Devotional:- “For there is hope for a tree, if it’s cut down, it sprouts again and grows tender new branch” (V. 7) TLB

    The challenge of life could weigh a man down beyond his faith and bring him to the level of hopelessness. Many people today have no hope of good things happening to them anymore. They have been waiting on God for quite sometimes and their hope is getting wearied.

To be hopeless is to conclude there is no better tomorrow. This happens to us sometimes when we put our expectations on men or when we over-expect from people. It could also be that we do not know that hope in God is made strong by the wisdom of patience in divine instructions (Hebrews 6:12). If this situation is not arrested quickly, it could lead to loss of vision, purpose, and faith in God. This is the goal of the enemy, but he has failed.

Listen to the powerful statement from Job: even if a tree is cut down there is hope for it. At the smell of water, it shall bud again, no matter what has been delayed in your life, if there is hope for a tree, there is hope for you. Don’t let your heart be wearied (Proverb 13:12). Please know that this is a strategy of the devil to remove you totally from faith in God. Therefore, renew your trust in God’s word by stretching your root to His word. Your hope shall come again.

Remember the faithfulness of God is from generation to generation. If He did not fail Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph, He will not fail you. You will rise again; all your lost time and materials shall be recovered. You may think you are losing time, but He is keeping time. You shall celebrate your progress and prosperity in Jesus name. It’s not over.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO FIND NEW HOPE IN YOU.

“YOU ARE NOT LOSING TIME; GOD IS ONLY KEEPING TIME”

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.

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.
