PROMOTION

  PROMOTION Psalm 113:1-8 Devotional:- “He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap” (v.7) NKJV Observe a joyful man, he will keep going up, and this is because joy makes room for the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). When God is available, He makes the joyful to inherit great places of the earth. We must understand the mystery of joy as affecting our level per time on the earth. In our scripture for today, God’s word says when a man is joyful and praiseful, God will set him on high among the princes. This is because a joyful heart accommodates praises, and where God is praised, God encompasses the place with favour (Psalm 22:3). Observe a happy man or woman; everyone wants to favour him/her. So when joy is available, it will move you to praise God, and your promotion is inevitable  The reason for your current level is directly proportional to your level of joy. If you want to go up, then increase in joy and praises (Isaiah 12:3). See, getting anno...

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.

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.
