  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

COUNT IT ALL JOY

COUNT IT ALL JOY

James 1:1-8
Devotional:- “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials” (v.2) NKJV 

    

    Trial could be a weight that the enemy could use to hinder many Christians from flying in life. Trial times are periods when we are tested to know the strength of our hearts. This season comes into the life of a Christian not because the Lord wants to be wicked to us, but we often enter into this season due to our weaknesses (James 1:13-14). When God discovers our weaknesses, He, as a good father, sees the need to help us; He does this by allowing situations that expose our weaknesses to us. It is always a time that looks as though God has forsaken or rejected us. These are what many people call delays in their lives. But all of these are not to break but to build us.

If you are going through a trial time, God expects us to consider such a season thoughtful and joyful, knowing well that it shall work out a more glorious season for us. This came to build patience and maturity in us. This is because mature faith works with patience (Hebrews 6:9). This enables us to be preserved till we access our glory. This also works great experience in us that helps to build up the strength of our faith for greater exploits.

Friend, soon you shall be made mature and completed in Him for the fulfilment of life and destiny. Therefore, count it all joy. Refuse to give up. Stand firm in your faith. Do not give in to sorrow or murmur against the Lord, but be thankful. Soon, your joy will be full. Friend, your promotion is on the way. Your shame shall be over, and your lifting and beauty shall be known.

PRAYER: LORD, UPHOLD ME TO STAND TILL MY TRIAL TURNS TO TRIUMPH.

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.
