  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

PHYSICAL LABOUR

Proverbs 14:20-27
Devotional:- “In all labour there is profit but idle talk leads only to poverty” (v.23) AMP

    

    As important as the first two types of labour are, much more important is the importance of physical labour. As New Testament believers, we must understand the importance of physical labour. God’s word says, “…this we commanded you that if any would not work, neither should he eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The Bible strongly condemns idleness. But far beyond this is the wisdom of getting involved in physical labour

Physical labour is physically getting involved in the pursuit of your assignment. May I let you know that labour is only highly profitable when you are doing it in the area of your calling or the area of your natural ability? There are two reasons why many people’s labour leads to no profit. The first is that many only labour physically and neglect both spiritual and mental labour. Others are specialists in spiritual labour but will not physically or mentally labour. Why a greater number of people will not use their minds? The second reason is when people just labour for income's sake. Until you find your area of natural strength, labour will be equal to struggling in pain (Ecclesiastes 10:15).

With the understanding you are receiving now, I believe you will be able to put your labour rightly. Labour should always be to find fulfilment and then, to gather profit. That is why all of us must have a profit mindset. Be careful of not misplacing this priority (Proverbs 23:4-5). Most people who are making it today are people who work between 60 and 80 hours per week. As a child of God, no one should make it more than you. Arise to discover your part on the earth and labour to reach your destination. Soon people will be serving under you in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME A DILIGENT HAND.

“IF A MAN WILL NOT WORK NOTHING GOOD MAY WORK OUT FOR HIM”

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.
