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...

LOYALTY

LOYALTY

2 Samuel 11:6-13
Devotional:- “And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” (V.11) NKJV

    Most people do not know that if they are not loyal to their leader, People will not be loyal to them.  For whatever a man sows, he shall reap. We are living in a generation that carries corrupt seed for a terrible future (Galatians 6:7). You must not join them if you are going to fly high in life.

The loyalty of Uriah, as we read in the scripture today, is highly commendable. And I know that God cannot but reward his generations for it. Though he was killed, he died for his loyalty to the king. When King David asked him to go and sleep with his wife, He should have seen it as a release from the war terror, but he refused (2 Samuel 11:9). He slept at the palace gate. 

Uriah considers it to be unfaithfulness to the service of the Lord, and the king asked him to go home and sleep with his wife. He said, “The armies and the commanders are sleeping at the open camp, how will I disobey God?” He swore never to go home. Please learn to faithfully stand by your leader, so that someone may do the same for you.

The next night, King David made him drunk so that he could go home. But as for this man, drunkenness does not equal unfaithfulness. Friend, get to know that God is watching your loyalty in that office. Don’t forget that it is Him you are serving and not man. Your boss may even be wicked, but you serve him as unto the Lord (Ephesians 6:7-8). Please be loyal to your leaders, and the Lord will soon lift you more than your imagination.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO BE LOYAL TO MY LEADER.

“LOYALTY IS A HARD SEED, EVEN IF BROKEN, IT WILL YET BE PROFITABLE”

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.
