OUR ROCK

  OUR ROCK Psalms 18:1-3 Devotional:- Lord is my rock and my fortress and deliverer…” (V.2) One of the love emblems to us is that He is our rock. He is known as the rock of ages. Because He loves us, He is always there for us. Rock is a symbol of strength and confidence. The cleft of the rock is always a beautiful place of refuge. Water from the rock is always pure and cool. As part of His love for us, He has become our rock (I Corinthians 10:4). He is the rock of our salvation, of our peace and protection. The bird eagle lives on the rock above the reach of the enemy. The water on it is refreshing and clean, far above the reach of the dust. The cave of the rock is always very cool and secure, far above the reach of either the arrow of the enemy or the scourging of the sun. This is who Jesus is for us. We may pass through challenges in this world, but we are sure of our victory because the rock is always there for us. He is our trust. He is our stronghold. He will never reject nor ...

MENTAL LABOUR

Proverbs 18:1-4
Devotional:- Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom” (V. 1) KJV 

    In the life of many children of God today, the old serpent is still ruling. God’s word says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Most people do not know that God has given us a mind to labour with. Many Christians get so much involved in spiritual labour and now neglect that of mental labour. One of the great problem Christianity has today is that of people not getting involved rightly in mental labour. Let us look at it in two dimensions. This could be holding firmly only to your faith in the word of God and making it your mindset. This could also be sitting down to meditate on your business or project progress (Luke 14:28).

If you do not get involved in mental labour, there could be many constraints in life. So many things happen to us that God expect us to know what to do by thinking through the help of the Holy Spirit. God’s word says, “A fool has no delight in understanding’” (Proverbs 18:2). Today it looks as if more people are getting involved in mental labour. They sit down to think constructively about their lives. However, the truth is that no man can reach the level of God’s plan for him until he is involved in spiritual labour, yet we must also wake up to mental labour. Children of God should not be without a solution to situations (Matthew 5:14). Most of the solutions to our challenges and answers to our prayers will always drop into our mind. The prodigal son thought of his problem and thought his way back home (Luke 15:17-18).

Friend, it is time to labour mentally. If a man does not think what he has claimed in prayers may not manifest in the physical. It takes mental labour to transfer our spiritual labour into physical blessing. It is the mind that stands in between the spirit and the physical. Set time aside to think productively about your life and destiny. Start to think productively. Productive mental labour demands separation with a joyful heart and never in sorrow (Isaiah 12:3). Start to think progressively. And your life will not be the same again.

PRAYER: LORD, EMPOWER ME FOR POSITIVE THINKING.

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.

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.
