PRESENCE OF GOD  Psalm 16:5-11 Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (v.11) NKJV As good as joy is, one of the greatest tasks of joy is sustaining it. So the world always finds it difficult to sustain. Many cannot even experience it for more than two hours per week. This is because they have not located the source of joy. As a believer, you need to know that joy is a product of the presence of God. Wherever God’s presence is, our scripture today says joy will fill the place. It means the oxygen and the hydrogen of the atmosphere of God are joy. So you cannot be in His presence and not know joy. No wonder David said he is always glad when it is time to go to the house of the Lord. (Psalm 122:1). To experience the presence of the Lord, you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then His presence will be within you. You also need to believe that He is with you according to His word.

SPIRITUAL LABOUR

SPIRITUAL LABOUR 

Devotional:- “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (V. 1) NKJV

    Now that we have begun to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus, we must ensure our participation in spiritual labour to enjoy the restful favour of God. It is important that we know that all things that exist in the physical have first existed in the spiritual (Hebrew l1:3). All good gifts come from above (James 1:19). God’s word says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly place (Ephesians 1:3). All these scripture establishes the fact that there are blessings spiritually provided for us. And it will take our spiritual labour to harvest them.

It Is a pity that many people have not come to the light that spiritual labour is one of the most important before you consider other types of labour. There are three types of labour the bible teaches: Spiritual labour, mental labour (Ecclesiastes 1:13) and physical labour (1 Thessalonians 4: 11). Spiritual labour is the act of growing in God to be able to claim our entire heritage in Christ (Galatians 4:7). This we will be able to do by increasing our faith in the word of God, praying and fasting or fellowshipping in God’s presence.

Today, the moment some people begin to have some possessions, they will start to neglect spiritual exercises that have great rewards (1 Timothy 4:8). They will start looking for excuses to be absent from the church. They will no longer meditate on God’s word. When the church calls for fasting and prayer, some will neglect it, only to soon run to the pastor when the devil has a grip upon what they think is their security.

As for you, understand that without God you can do nothing (John 15:5). No matter your status, never be bigger than God. Labour to enter your rest in Christ so that your peace, protection and prosperity can be guaranteed. Never neglect God in your days of comfort so that He will not neglect you when you need Him (Proverbs l:24-29). No matter what you have now much is still waiting for you in the spirit. And much more for you and your family are peace, health protection and nonstop prosperity. Learn to labour in the Lord to enter your rest.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME NEVER TO BE LAZY SPIRITUALLY.

“HE THAT NEGLECT GOD IN COMFORT SHALL BE NEGLECTED IN TROUBLE.”

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.
