  ASK Matthew 7:7-12  Devotional:- “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (V.11) NKJV For us to be able to enjoy the love of God as believers, we must begin to ask God for our needs. It is the principle of God that you will only have what you ask (Matthew 7:7). If you don’t speak out to ask, you may not be given. This was the problem of the senior brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:29-32). Everything is for Him, but he had never asked for any. But the younger brother knew how to ask You must also learn how to ask. This is because you will only enjoy what you asked for. We therefore need to learn how to ask. The word ‘ask’ is not the same as beg or loan. The word asks suggests confidence and courage. It means to demand for what you are due for. It means to ask for your rights and your entitlements in God (Galatians 3:13-14). The bible is a book of covenant ...

PEACEFUL BLESSING

PEACEFUL BLESSING

Joshua 7:16-26
Devotional:- “When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it” (V.21) NKJV

    God demonstrated His mighty power and delivered the children of Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and He brought them to their promised land. But as soon as they took over the promised land, a small nation defeated them in battle and they were embarrassed. They didn’t know that one man had just wrongly acquired wealth among them which set God against them. Then God allowed their enemies to defeat them. When an inquiry was made, Achan was discovered to have taken and hidden what God said they should not touch. He wanted to be smart enough to get rich quickly, not knowing that it was the way of destruction.

Today, the blessing some people are gathering is the one they have used “boldface” to get. They terrorize others to get wealth. People seem to have taken evil blessings to be good ones since they don’t understand the way to wealth. Not many want to labour genuinely to make it. Dangerous people devise ways of defrauding others for what they have laboured for.

A family or nation that plans to steal from others cannot be great. It is only a family or nation that is diligent that can enjoy the blessings of God. God’s blessing comes with peace and prosperity. You don’t need to fight anyone to get it. God’s blessing will come when you get involved in a genuine business that brings a peaceful blessing (Proverb 10:22). Achan ended up in destruction. Don’t follow such a path, face your business with godly wisdom and heaven will prosper you.

PRAYER: LORD, DELIVER ME FROM SINFUL AND DEADLY BLESSING.

“ENERGY INVESTED IN EVIL BLESSING WILL KILL ITS VICTIM. WATCH OUT”

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.
