JOY OF PARENTS

  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”

EXCUSES

EXCUSES

Exodus 4:6-17 
Devotional:- “Then Moses said to the LORD, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue” (v. 10) NKJV

    Many do not know that excusing oneself from God’s instruction is a grievous sin unto the Lord. We often like to give excuses when we are asked to do something we never desire to do. Others give excuses when they have no hope or any view of expectation in what they are called to do. Such people only do what is easy and only with immediate returns. They often don’t want to go the extra mile to do extraordinary things. Most people only want to do what they believe will bring immediate results. 

Excuses are statements that make one avoid doing what one actually wants to do. Many of us do not know that it is an act of improper view of ourselves. If you cannot view the great and mighty potential in you, your creator can. So, excuses are the refusal to tap into what God has put inside you. And this can become a weight on you to disallow your flight.

Moses never knew how much expectation God had placed on him. He never knew that his non-readiness had delayed the children of Israel from being delivered. So he looked into his past and present to unleash excuses to avoid God’s assignment for him. This is an action that always gets God annoyed with the sons of men.

I don’t know what excuses you have also been giving for your response to God’s instruction. When will you step out? He has deposited enough Virtue in you for all His instructions. Stop comparing your past with the future. Stop focusing on your inadequacies, God is more than able to help you fulfill your destiny in life. For how long will you continue to wait in wasting? Talk to Him by faith, and you will see His grace at work in your life.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO OBEY YOUR LEADING EVEN WHEN IT LOOKS RIDICULOUS.

“EVERY GOD’S DIRECTIONS IS BASED ON WHAT HE HAS PUT IN YOU THAT YOU CANNOT SEE AND NOT WHAT YOU CAN SEE”

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.
