  FAITHFULNESS Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord'” (v.21) NKJV One other unnoticed strength of joy is being faithful. You need to know that faithfulness is a senior brother to joyfulness. They are born of the same father. When you are really born of God, these two virtues will surely be found in you. Today, many are dubious in their dealings with others. Many, in the name of the need for money, become unfaithful to their spouse, master and even God. People do this just to get wealth, but they never know that it is a way to lose their joy. So many have gathered through unfaithfulness, but with many sorrows. In the scripture we read today, there are two types of servants. Their master gave them money to trade with. Two were faithful by carrying out the instruction of their master, but one was unfaithful. He thought ...

SPIRITUAL DRYNESS

Judges 16:18-28
Devotional"= However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaven” (V.22) NKJV

    A man who is strong and deep in faith could sometimes have spiritual dryness. This is a period when faith seems to have vanished, A period when you as a leader want to read your Bible and it looks as if it is all erased. You wouldn’t even see any revelation in it. A period when you want to spend a good time praying and you end up thinking and pondering upon your problems. Prayer time becomes boring, and in such time, it could seem better for you to sleep than to pray. Your mind becomes so empty and carries no power to impart no one. No one likes to witness such a season but it does happen. You only need to know how to avoid and get out of such a situation.

Samson a mighty man of God, having revealed the secret of his power to a woman put his life in danger of death. The hair he was divinely instructed not to cut was shaven and he lost his might. This made him a victim of his enemy. But the hair later began to grow again. This is the restoration of life and anointing.

When we begin to give more time to the work of God than the God of the work, we are opening doors to spiritual dryness. When we have no time to pray, to eat the bread of life (The word of God) and we disobey the Holy Spirit at will. At such times, God will see the need to withdraw a little from us to make us see our inability without Him; So that we might run back to Him. This also happens to David the king (Psalm 51:7-12).

At such times, please set time aside to be with God. Let Him know you are nothing without Him and that you are willing to be back (John 15:5). Ask for a renewal of the Spirit and God will answer your prayer. The hair of your spirit will begin to grow again. Please avoid these lapses, the enemy can take advantage of them to fulfill his desires. Don’t forget that God is still with you, He has promised never to leave you no matter what. Stop being afraid, He is by your side, your strength is restored from now in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE UNTO ME THE JOY OF THY SALVATION.

“EVERY DRY SEASON WILL ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED BY A HEAVY RAINY SEASON”.

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.
