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...

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.

Jesus gave a parable about the kingdom of God. That is what our lives should be like as citizens of the kingdom of God. He said; ten servants were given minas. A mina worth is about three month’s wages. So also, God has invested much into you. You cannot bury God’s gift, talents, and grace in your life and not trade it for your profit and the profit of the kingdom of God. The profit you must make for God’s kingdom will add up to your lifting (Luke 19:17). That is why you should serve the Lord with all He has invested in you.

Friend, the master is coming to ask for His minas. Some don’t want to do business because they don’t want trouble. Others just want to avoid the challenge and the risk of business. Yet, there is something you can do. It is either sales or services. Your excuses will not pay your bills. If you can plan well enough, what you have is enough to start with. Be determined to rise this year and God will help you.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RISE.

“SIT DOWN AND THINK POSITIVELY; YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RISE.”
