SETBACK

  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...

GOOD RELATIONSHIP

GOOD RELATIONSHIP

Genesis 40:4-15
Devotional:- “So he asked Pharaoh’s official who were in custody with him in his master’s house,“ Why are your faces so sad today”? (V. 7) NIV

    There is a need for everyone to understand the beauty of relationships. Many people fail in this area of their lives. It is the reason for the delay of many people's favour and help. It has caused many sisters and brothers to have a delay in locating their spouses. It has sent many homes packing. Lack of a good attitude in relationships has scattered many friends and groups. The earlier we begin to cherish relationships, the better for us. It is one of the things we need most in our lives. 

Joseph was a wise man. He knew and exploited the power of relationships. Everywhere he went, he would quickly get acquainted with the people there and be a blessing to them. He did it so much in the house of Potiphar, his master, that the wife sinfully misinterpreted him. Eventually, it was this attitude that led him to the palace and placed him upon the throne. Do you know that most people don’t resemble their future? (Isaiah 53:2).

Do you know that 80% of what God will do for you will be done through men? God’s word says. “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure… shall men (not angels) give into your bosom. (Luke 6:38). God will never come down to do many things for you, but He will use men. Therefore, be mindful of the way you treat people around you. You may never know who among them will help and favour you tomorrow. Please do these two things to help yourself. Put value on anyone you see and give them their honour. Don’t look down on anyone. Your employer or students today may be the ones to help you or your children tomorrow. Mind the way you treat that house girl, students or workers. They may be your helpers tomorrow. I have heard of a student who became the lecturer of his teacher later. That little child could be the one to sign your contract, visa or other things tomorrow. Value everyone that comes your way, and God will put value on you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO VALUE EVERYONE WHO COMES MY WAY

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.
