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...

RELEASING OTHERS

Luke 17:1-4
Devotional:- “And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him” (V.4) NKJV

    It is easy to say “Away with Him, kill him” when you are not the one to be killed. Parents would bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too had committed in the past and were not killed.

The scripture we read today reveals how wicked people can be. A servant, who owed his master so much, just as we owed God so much, was forgiven but could not forgive his colleague, but locked him up in the police cell. This cruelty made his master reverse the mercy he had shown him earlier.

Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they have done, you’ve done worse things to God. The truth is that you are doing more harm to yourself when you don’t forgive others. This will create tension and bitterness in your heart and make you lose strength (Hebrews 12:15). Many people’s heaven is blocked because of unforgiveness. But as soon as you forgive, your rain starts falling again. Job was badly wounded by his friends when they attempted to correct him (Job 16:2). But he began to experience restoration when he prayed for his friends (Job 42:10). Arise, take a bold step today, and forgive those who offend you. Your strength shall be restored in a double way for progress.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME THE GRACE TO ALWAYS FORGIVE OTHERS.

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.
