GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

PRODUCT OF SIN

PRODUCT OF SIN

James 1:9-18
Devotional:- “Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” (V. 15) NKJV

    Believers should be careful not to fill their minds with the mentality of sin. There are some facts we need to know about this so that we are not ignorant of the devices of the devil. Then the devil will not find it easy to outwit us in Jesus' name (2 Corinthians 2:11). What pushes most great men into the traps of sin are what could easily be avoided, but they became victims of it through their ignorance.

The scripture we read today gives us the process and products of sin, so that at any level we are in the process, we can always resist the flesh to discontinue because it will put us into the trap. God’s word says, God doesn’t tempt anyone with evil (sin), but everyone is tempted by their lust and enticed. This means that sin commences in the heart of men when they start to have wrong thoughts and desires for the things of the flesh. As this is not curbed, it soon develops into an enticement that is uncontrollable, then gives birth to sin. And sin gives birth to death (2 Corinthians 6:16-18). Death in this context talks about separation from God, which, if not corrected, could now lead to eternal separation from God in hell.  Why is it this hard? May I let you know that any activity of sin is an act of the devil, manipulating people to disobey God. Sin is not just behaviour (1 John 3:8). Please understand that light and darkness do not coexist, so also God and the devil cannot co-dwell in your heart.

Friend, you can therefore kill the seed of sin, which is wrong desire, rather than struggling with its fruit when it begins to manifest, so that it does not lead you to trials or temptation. You are going far, do not let sin hinder your journey. And you will soon arrive at your destination of glory.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO OBEY YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

“IF SIN COULD PROLONG YOUR JOURNEY, THEN YOU SHOULD DESTROY ITS SEED”

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.
