HOPE

HOPE Psalm 42:1-11 Devotional:- “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God” (v.11) NKJV If any man will experience sustaining joy, he must first be hopeful. Hope is the strength of joy. Hope is the reason for the coming joy. It is an expectation according to the will of God. It is an assurance of a coming joy (Hebrews 12:2). It is also the strength of faith (Hebrews 11:1). If there is no hope, there may also not be joy, but a man of hope will continue in joy. Oftentimes, we observe the current happenings around us, and it looks like there is no hope. The truth is that current events are not the determining factor for our tomorrow. God’s word says we cannot compare the suffering of now to the glory that is coming (Romans 8:18). The truth is that no hope can be genuine till it has a sure and certain promise. This is a promise that cannot fail, and that is why our hope should be in...

BEING FORGIVEN

BEING FORGIVEN

1 John 1:5-10
Devotional:- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (v. 9) NKJV.

    One of the strongest weapons of the enemy against human confidence is condemnation and fear. And these are products of the feelings of not being forgiven. Nothing weakens the human conscience like guilt (Proverbs 28:1). No matter how strong a man is, a guilty conscience will make him a vegetable in the face of his enemies. He will always submit to the enemy. He/she will always look down on himself/herself.

I would like to let you know that a new man and woman in Christ have a heritage of forgiveness in Christ Jesus. Don’t let anyone break your confidence or destroy your emotions. I once counselled a sister who kept growing skinny daily because she was told that God could never forgive her again. See, God is not a man. This is the reason Jesus died on the cross. He shed His precious blood for the remission of our sins (Hebrews 9:22).

Anytime we sin, we should repent and confess our sins to God. We should ask for our cleansing by the blood (Hebrews 9:21; 1 John 1:9). God’s word says we shall be immediately forgiven, and clean by the precious blood of Jesus. This is not a liberty for sin but the license to our liberty in Christ Jesus. See, your God is not like men. Have you confessed those sins to God? Please genuinely repent of them. And now you are forgiven. Jump up in joy as a person forgiven. Jesus gave the parable of the prodigal son to teach us the attitude of God toward us as a forgiving father (Luke 15:11-24). Jesus demonstrated this on the cross (Luke 23:34). Don’t be tied down in the unforgiven. Since you repent and ask for forgiveness, you are free. See, to God, there is no bigger sin, sin is sin. It is men who rate sins. If the thief on the cross could find forgiveness, please find yours.

PRAYER: LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU FORGIVE ME; HELP ME TO LIVE FOR YOU FOREVER.

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.
