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...

LOW INCREASE

LOW INCREASE

I Corinthians 3:5-10
Devotional:- “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (V.6) NKJV                             

    It is very much natural that when we plant, we should expect a harvest. God has ordained it to be so (Genesis 8:22). When you sow grains of maize, you are normally expected to reap curbs of it, this is the right phenomenon. But sometimes it happens that you put in so much to reap a little. This is the reverse of what God has ordained. However. loss of such has set fear in the hearts of many people and so they are even afraid to invest in anything again. But this should not be so.

This happens to us sometimes when we forget that God owns the power of increase and not man. When some people are greatly increasing, they attribute it to their smartness. They look at other people as if they do not know how. But the truth is that God is the one that gives grace for increase. Yes, there are factors responsible for an increase but when you have done all, minus God’s grace it equals frustration.

To overcome this challenge, there is a need to check some things. please check if we are sowing the right seed on good ground. Don’t forget that God is the one that can lead us to locate Our good ground (Psalm 23:2). Good ground for ’A’ may not be for ‘B’.

God is the determinant. Are you where God leads you? We need to ascertain the kind of seed we are sowing. Is it healthy or not? We also need to water our seed with the word of faith to grow and increase. Then lastly recognize that the key factor for the increase is direction and not our discretion.

Remember every seed has its season of harvest, i.e., gestation season. Take time to allow God’s leading, for he will always lead his people to greener pastures. Always be grateful for the little increase, then the big ones will be heading your way (Psalm 67:5-7). Your increase shall will have no limit because your season has come and everyone shall see your glory.

PRAYER: LORD, LET MY SEASON OF INCREASE COME.

“DIRECTION IS THE KEY TO DISTINCTION”

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.
