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...

HAVING PEACE

Isaiah 48:12-22

“Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea” (V.18) NKJV 

    The world today is fast losing grip of peace. So many terrible things have become instrumental to the destruction of the peace of the world. Even media news has become a factor that reduces peace. So many wicked acts are carried out regularly and most men have no peace in their lives. With all the security in the world today, men still lack peace. The development of technology should have reduced insecurity but it is rather multiplying the panic.

For anyone to enjoy peace, he must identify the source of peace and that is Jesus Christ. He is called the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). We also need to understand the channel of peace, and that is obedience to the instructions of God. When a man is disobedient to God, he will surely lose his peace. That is why you must be obedient to all instructions of God. Another factor of peace is trusting in the Lord. That is, totally putting your hope in the working power of God and His promises as you do your work. If you also want peace, learn to sow peace. Whatsoever you sow, you shall reap. Seek peace with all men (Heb. 12:14) and your life will start to enjoy the peace of God. Learn to totally depend on God. He is able to keep you to the end and your life shall be peaceful.

PRAYER: LORD, LET YOUR PEACE REIGN IN MY LIFE.

“PEACE IS A PRODUCT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE GOD OF PEACE”

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.
