  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...

PLANNING

Proverbs 16:1-9
Devotional:- “The plans of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue” (v. 1)  AMPC

    One of the strategies for growth and achievement that most people are not used to is planning. Planning will make your way plain and straight. It makes life predictable. It makes you locate your place; it makes you see obstacles and helps get you prepare to overcome them. It helps you move on in the journey of life without struggle. It helps you to be able to evaluate and recognize your level of progress. And so it encourages you to think of a better way for growth.

According to the scripture we read today, God expects everyone to take the responsibility of planning their affairs in life. No one builds a house without a plan, except for a weak house that may not be good. Effective planning shows you step-by-step progress to your destination. A good plan starts from where you are, and is capable of showing you how you can climb bit by gradually to get to the top. A good plan must be easily understood and must be in stages.

Friend, find time to think and put some things together. Thinking of starting something from where you are and not from where you are not. There is no height you cannot get to with good planning. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Don’t just live anyway. Someone said, it is what one doesn’t plan for that will destroy one’s plan. Don’t just keep looking at life driving you on, anyhow. Be determined to succeed, and it must start with a good plan. He who fails to plan is simply planning to fail. Sit down now and plan forward that achievement you desire. And gradually you will be there. 

PRAYER: LORD, MAKE MY PLANS SUCCESSFUL.

“LIFE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR STRUGGLE; PLANNING IS THE SOLUTION”

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.
