TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

GETTING JOB

Ecclesiastes 9:10-12
Devotional:- “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (V10) NKJV

    The economic situation in many countries has caused many people to become jobless. Statistics show that a good percentage of people are without a job, especially in this part of the world. This has led many families into a financial mess and has caused an increase in crime. You as a child of God must not remain a victim of joblessness. Sometimes we make our certificate a barrier to ourselves from getting jobs or creating jobs. Many people are higher than the jobs available. But you should know that it is a sin not to be working and yet be eating. (2 Thessalonians 3:10). As much as there are jobs and advertisements of vacancies, as many are jobless people.

There is a need to know that there are two types of jobs. The ones we are looking for, and the ones that are looking for us. It will be wise to first get the ones looking for us while looking for the one we want, instead of being completely jobless. We are looking for a job that will offer us a sufficient income but the jobs that are looking for us are not with big income. They are jobs that people despise doing, an example is teaching and some other creative jobs which could make you employ people instead of being employed. When you can look for a problem to solve in your community to offer value. then, you are creating a job.

Before this year is over, God will open many doors of jobs for you. You will soon be selecting them. You are not created to be jobless but to create jobs. Lay hands on the little things around you and God will make it great.

PRAYER: LORD, TURN ME TO AN EMPLOYER THIS YEAR.

“IT IS BETTER TO BE AN EMPLOYER THAN TO BE EMPLOYED”

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.
