  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...

PREPARATION

PREPARATION

2 Chronicles 27:1-6 
Devotional:- “So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God” (v.6) NKJV.

    
    A race not prepared for might not be that successful in the end. Everyone who runs and wins in the race of life knows that there is nothing to replace preparation. It is only those who will take the time to prepare that will find sufficient strength to finish their race. Preparation is to get yourself ready for the race set ahead of you. It is building in your system what it takes to have the victory and success you desire; it is exercising your system in readiness for a task. It is training your system to be used to the demands of your race.

In the scripture we read today, Jotham became a great king in Judah. The Bible referred to him as someone who became mighty. And this great level of attainment was attributed to his preparation before the Lord his God. The truth is that what you don’t prepare for, you may not be able to have the best of. If you therefore want to be great, you need to prepare strongly enough.

You need to build maturity into your system, you need to have an understanding of the purpose for which things happen, develop a good and right Spirit, a joyful and lovely Spirit, and a life of principles. Don’t just keep living anyhow. It is then that you will have the ability to absorb the challenges of life. Build a good attitude towards relationships with people, the ability to manage your success, the ability to make quality decisions, and the ability to retain your faith amid the storm of life. All of these and more are what you could begin to build into your system while you await your greater tomorrow. This you will be able to do, if you give yourself to studying the bible and other books of great individuals. Humble yourself to allow those who have gone ahead of you to mentor you. May you not suffer in your days of manifestation. And your flight shall be smooth.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO START PREPARING FOR MY COMING GLORY.

YOUR LEVEL OF PREPARATION DETERMINES YOUR LEVEL OF EXPLOIT”

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.
