GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

NEW CREATION

NEW CREATION

2 Corinthians 5:14-21
Devotional:- “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (V. 17) NKJV

    When a man gives his life to Christ, he becomes a brand-new creature. Man needs to understand that he is not flesh, but a spirit that has a soul and dwells in flesh (body). At creation, God breathed His spirit into the clay, and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). So, death is referred to as a penalty of sin in Genesis 2:17. It is also known as separation from God. So, the Spirit of God departed when man sinned. But since man cannot be a vacuum, the spirit of the devil will always take over, and that is why man doesn’t drop dead immediately he turns to sin.

It is the spirit in a man that determines his lifestyle. The Spirit of God will always move man to think in a godly way. It is the evil spirit that makes people behave devilishly. Since the ungodly spirit has reigned over the human heart, wickedness has been increased on the earth (Genesis 6:5). But as soon as anyone accepts Jesus as Lord and Saviour, such has chosen God’s life. And the spirit of the enemy has to depart. From that moment on, the Spirit of God begins to operate in him to challenge and control the mind that is now willing to submit to God (John 3:3-6). At this time, he is a brand-new man. The old spirit has departed from him. What forces him to sin is no more there (Romans 6:14). Now the old things have passed away in his life. That is why Christianity is not a religion or joining a church or changing the style of dressing and carrying the bible about but connecting to the divine nature of Christ in us. You can stop living a mere human life when you are submitting to the Holy Spirit in you.

Friend, as a child of God, you are a brand-new person to live a new life. You only need to start to grow in Christ by the word of God (John 15:3). This will purge your mind of the old mentality, and your mind shall be filled with the truth (Colossians 3:16). And your mind will be set free from all the bondages of life (John 8:32). By the virtue of your new birth, from the day you confess Jesus as your Lord, all of God’s force comes back to you in full force. You take off afresh with a new dawn beginning altogether. You have to come to a new status because the Spirit of Christ is now in you. You have His nature, His spirit, and His life. When you start to live by faith, you will start to walk in His righteousness, and victory.

PRAYER: HOLY SPIRIT TAKE ME DEEPER TO THE LIGHT OF MY NEW NATURE.

“IF YOUR NEWNESS WITHIN BEGINS TO GAIN STRENGTH IT WILL SOON SHOW WITHOUT.”

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
