TIME OF JOY

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...

REGAINING YOUR LOSS

REGAINING YOUR LOSS 

Luke 5:1-8
Devotional:- “But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."”  (V. 5) NKJV

    Sometimes in life, we put so much effort into our work. We sometimes invest so much money into a business expecting a substantial dividend, but we eventually find everything turns out to be a loss. Some people have experienced a kind of loss that has broken their courage to pursue success in life.

In the scripture today, Peter and his friends were labouring and losing. As professional fishermen, they spent all night looking for fish and could not find one. Who knows if the net they were using was rented; that would have amounted to a great loss. But Peter acted in the wisdom that restored their loss. He obeyed the voice of God and they had their loss restored.

Begin to allow God to direct your steps too. Don’t set out each day without asking God where to turn to. God’s word says the labour of the fools wearies them for they do not know how to go to the city (Ecclesiastes 10:15). If you allow God to start leading you; your story shall soon change. God shall restore all your losses in life. You will yet celebrate. God said He would restore the years locusts have eaten in your life (Joel 2:25-27). This is your year indeed.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO SEE THE RESTORATION OF ALL MY LOSSES.

“A MAN IS BLESSED BY DECLARATION BUT WEALTH IS GATHERED BY WISDOM”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
