MEDITATION Psalm 1:1-6 Devotional:- “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night..” (v.2) NKJV      God’s word describes someone blessed because he/she meditates on the word of God, day and night. How can this be? The word of God is the source of inspiration that strengthens us to perform (John 1:1-3). The Bible told us that God is a spirit; therefore, meditating on the word of God is drawing on the strength of the spirit (John 6:63).

PRIDE

Luke 18:9-14
Devotional:- “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (v.14) NKJV. 

    Many people do not understand that when God is absent from whatever we do, we make success far from ourselves. When a man is prospering in a godly way, it is just because God is backing him. One of the things that can push God out of the life of anyone is pride. The only kind of people that God will always release grace for increase to are the humble (James 4:6).

Our scripture today taught us to always be humble. This is what will make us acceptable before the Lord. And since he accepts us, he will surely prosper us. A Pharisee came to pray and began to boast in his righteousness. But a tax collector realised his state before the Lord and was not proud but humble. And Jesus said he went home justified, that is, he went home acceptable and approved of God.

God’s word says, “God opposes the proud (i.e., He stands on their way of progress) but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourself therefore under God’s mighty hand, that we may lift you in due time” (1 Peter 5:5-6). No matter how high a man may be, pride will bring him down (Daniel 4:36-37; Proverbs 11:2). It is always the trick of the devil to destroy our lifting, so avoid it.

Friend, humble yourself that God may exalt you. This is the reason for the delay in the destiny of many people today. Do not let anyone push you to be proud. Please value others and be careful with the way you talk to them. Some don’t always talk but are proud in heart (Matthew 5:3,6). Value your life and be humble so that God may add value to you. You will enjoy God’s grace from now on.

PRAYER: LORD, DESTROY THE SPIRIT OF PRIDE IN ME THAT IT MAY NOT DESTROY ME.

GOD’S WAY TO THE TOP IS BY BEING ABASED”

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.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT Deuteronomy 20:1-4 Devotional:- “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt” (V. 4) NKJV      God’s children must come to realize that our victory has been purchased by by the blood of Jesus, but we have to fight to establish it in our lives. If you have to face the devil, it will be impossible to defeat him. he was in a greater glory before than you are now. He has been in a battle game before the creation of man (Revelation 12:7-8). He knows far more than we do.
