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...

NARROW DOWN

Galatians 2:1-10
Devotional:- “For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the gentiles” (V. 8) NIV.

    So many lives today are facing challenges that are not meant for them because they are carrying more than they should be carrying in life. This happens because men are in search of money and material things. Some have become the jack of all trades because they want to be famous, but they may never get it. So many people are doing lots but lack the knowledge for it. They do not know that our calling and gifts are global, but specific and simple. 

Paul was wise enough to narrow down his ministry basically to the Gentiles. He discovered he was not much accepted among the Jews, he was always been stoned and rejected. So he maximized the area of his calling, and this gave him a permanent position among the Apostles. Though he came last, yet excelled more than all.

Stop despising your gift of calling. You only need to observe your assignment and see where you could do better. Then maximise that area, and you will soon overtake others. Stop being a jack of all trades. You are not called to preach the whole Bible. Some are called to preach only the message of salvation, some faith, some hope, some prosperity. Narrow your vision to the specific area of God’s instruction. Stop following everyone to do everything. So that you don’t waste your entire life on the pursuit of what you are not giving the strength to attain. Something is about to happen to you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ADJUST AND ABIDE WITH THE LITTLE YOU’VE GIVEN ME TO DO FOR MY GLORY.

“THAT SMALL ABILITY IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU GREAT”

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.
