THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

DISTRACTING DISTRACTION

DISTRACTING DISTRACTION

Matthew 6:21-24
Devotional:- “The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light” (V. 22) KJV

    One way the devil works out defeat and failure in people's lives is through distraction. Distraction is a great enemy on the road to success. It has successfully held so many people hostage. You will not be its victim in Jesus name.

Sometimes, when you want to concentrate on achieving a goal, it’s then the enemy will bring a distraction. When you plan to read, he will entice you to sleep or to spend time thinking about what is not necessary. It is when you have an appointment that he will bring weariness and slow your action. When you are praying, he will do His best to divert your thoughts to several places. His aim is to get you distracted from reaching your goal.

The power to overcome the Spirit of distraction is prescribed in the scripture We read today. “Let your eyes be single”. In other words “if your eyes are healthy or sound” This is when your eyes can focus to see well or deeper. This demands that you focus on one thing at a time. This does not mean you cannot multitask. Always concentrate on whatever you are doing at a point in time. Jack of all trades will end up being the master of none. There is time for everything. Let time be appointed to everything you do. The devil will always want to use what you like to distract you from getting what you need. But please be willing to sacrifice what you like and get what you need.

Money could also be a distraction. Be careful not to be possessed by the spirit of mammon which is the love of money, this could distract you from your focus. Let your love rather be for God and the pursuit of his purpose for your life. Then you will be full of revelation and understanding to fulfil your calling, and then you will see all the good things of life waiting for you at the end.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH FOR A SINGLE FOCUS.

“DISTRACTION IS SIMPLY AN ATTRACTION FOR DESTRUCTION"

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.
