SETBACK

  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...

REMOVE THE WEIGHT

REMOVE THE WEIGHT

Hebrews 12:1-17 
Devotional:- “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us” (v.1) NKJV.

    God in His wonderful power has created everything with the nature to fit into their natural place wonderfully. When you observe the birds that fly in the air. They are always very light. I have watched a documentary about eagles. As big as they are, they could be so light in weight. Their weight is one of the advantages of their ability to fly high in the firmament. This same property has been employed in the making of the aircraft we are using today. This is also true for anyone who aspires to achieve great heights in life. We must be willing to shed some weight.

God’s word says, we are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses. That is, we have evidence of people who, through faith, have taken flight to glorious testimonies, which proved to us that we can do the same since our God has not changed. We only need to shed the weight of hindrances to encounter our flight to glory. Weights are things that make God not be on our side and then make us too heavy to fly. Weights are thoughts of evil and negativity. Bitterness, anger, envy, jealousy, and the like are all weighing on our minds. 

Life is only stress-free when God is involved in our pursuit. Disobedience to God’s instruction, selfishness working against God’s purpose and plan, and other sins that could easily entangle us will create weight on us; they will not allow us to fly as we desire. These sins are not ordinary behaviour, they are demons hiding in the minds of people. That is why, at times, you don’t want to do them, but these demons enforce it on you (Romans 7:15-25). Search your life and amend your ways before Him. You must change those wrong and sinful practices if there is to be a change. They are enough weight to way you down. This will happen as you daily meditate on the word of God. By this, you are multiplying the Spirit of the word of God into your mind. Information is the vehicle that transports spirit from heart to heart (John 6:63). Look unto Jesus alone. He is enough for you. This year is not for your failure. That is why you must refuse whatever God refuses. You will fly high.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO FORSAKE THE LIFE OF SIN FOR MY GLORY TO EMERGE.

“MIND WHO YOU ARE LISTENING TO, FOR THEY ARE POURING THEIR SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART”

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.
