  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

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

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.
