  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...

FEAR NO DEATH

Acts 21:1-14
Devotional:- “Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus”” (v. 13) NKJV 

    No one can live effectively except they first give up on the fear of death. Since some people have seen death as the end of existence, it often poses a great threat to their lives. Today, death is a fearful thing to mention to so many people. They sleep and wake up with the fear of death. They do everything with the consciousness of death. They even travel as though they will not come back. The hard truth is that such men will eventually die. 

You need to know that you are too valuable to God and that He cannot be so carefree to allow you to die anyhow. I know there could be many questions in your heart, but the word of God says you will not die. Do you know that the fear of death could paralyses your mental and emotional balance for excellence? You need to know that every breakthrough in life comes through risk. If you can’t take a risk, you can’t take a new rank.

Paul was a man worthy of emulation; the fear of death had no grip upon his mind. He was ready to take dangerous steps. He was so convinced of his step for the sake of the gospel rather than being scared of death. Do you know that for you, death is not an end, it is just a transition? The only reason why we should not expect it now is that we must finish our assignment here first. Get to know that you are here on assignment. You are not going until you finish up. Stop thinking about death, so you don’t terminate your life. Put your total trust in the power of God, that it can preserve you. Put that fear aside and go for your goal. This is a season that has been appointed for your rising, and you shall shine.

PRAYER: LORD, DELIVER ME FROM THE FEAR OF DEATH.

“FEARING DEATH IS THINKING AND INVITING THE SPIRIT OF DEATH”

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.
