  EXCELLENT MIND Genesis 40:4-15 Devotional:- “So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in the custody of his lord's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?" (v.7) NKJV Man needs to wake up to the truth that when our heart is joyful, it operates more in an excellent way. The devil, having known this power, tries to keep people in sorrowful thought. Sorrow will break a man’s system down to further confusion, while positive thinking will bring forth a solution to your situation (Isaiah 12:3). Joseph was simply wise to retain joy in his heart despite all he was going through. He simply disallows sorrow in his heart. That was why he could operate far better than others in the prison yard and even could think of how to comfort them. His mind could still bring out a solution to the problem of others. If not, the day he was brought forth from prison to stand before Pharaoh, he would have lost his mind and would have been a failure. See, joy is a powerful lubric...

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.
