EVALUATION

  EVALUATION 2 Corinthians 13:1-10 Devotional:- “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you-unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?” (V.5)AMPC At such a time like this every one who desires to fulfill their destiny in life should evaluate themselves. Since life is about fulfilling your purpose, goal or destiny, it therefore becomes possible to measure where you are in the race of your life. The enemy often tries to make this time a period of sorrow for so many people. They will look back and see their poor performances. This will then make them break down to sorrow. But this is a negative approach to evaluation. Evaluation is to help you look critically into your state of achievement in the year. It helps you discover where...

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.
