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...

REFUSE DOUBT

REFUSE DOUBT

2 Kings 7:1-11
Devotional:- “So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, "Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" And he said, "In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it” (V.2) NKJV

    Doubt is one of the enemies we need to learn how to fight and overcome. It is an enemy of our faith for victory and success. A doubter is someone who allows the natural view of life to supersede the supernatural in his mind. He accepts the facts of life to be more real than the truth of the word of God. People become doubtful when they feel disappointed by their faith in God. Even though God cannot fail, because of our impatience and ignorance we sometimes conclude that God has failed us. This automatically develops doubt in our minds. Please know that our impatience cannot make God do things at odd times. He walks with time. That is why our faith should be with patience (Hebrews 6:12).

The scripture we read today teaches us the evil of doubting. Though the man on whose hand the king leaned was high in status but was low in faith. He doubted the word of God and could only see but never taste the blessing. Doubt terminated his life untimely.

Since God will always answer us according to our faith, doubters may not see God’s word fulfilled, so, shun doubt. The enemy only wants to have your attention shifted to him. To overcome doubt, renew your love for God and His purpose. Be willing to wait and see God’s words coming to pass in your life (Job 14:14). Doubters will always receive nothing. There is so much awaiting you this year. Don’t let doubt terminate it. Decide to wait and God will bring you to glory (Psalm 27:14).

PRAYER: LORD, DESTROY THE ROOT OF DOUBT IN MY LIFE.

“DOUBT IS THE DEVIL’S TRICK 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.
