  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

BE RESPONSIBLE

1 Samuel 17:12-22 
Devotional:- “So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle” (v. 20) NKJV. 

    If God will give lifting to any man, He will look into the level of his responsible attitude. When God was looking down from heaven, to search for a king in place of Saul the king, He found David. Responsibility is one of the things He must have seen in him (1 Samuel 16:1).

So many people today, even Christians, don’t want to be responsible for anything in their lives; they cannot be trusted. They are as careless as anything. They even want to use church services as excuses for not doing their work well in the office or at home. Yes, it is good and important to be in the house of the Lord, but it is also necessary that your work is well-planned and not mocked.

David was not just like any careless person. When the father sent him to his brother, he gave the charge to watch over the sheep to another shepherd who would be able to take care of them. This is a sense of responsibility. Please, whatever you are given to do, do it with a heart of responsibility. Let God find you faithful. Don’t just be absent from the office at will.

Do you know that it is a robbery to be paid for a time that you are not working? God will only avenge all disobedience against you when your obedience is completed (2 Corinthians 10:6). And favour shall answer to you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEREVER I AM COMMITTED.

“A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IS A SENSE OF MATURITY”

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.
