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...

SELF PERCEPTION

SELF PERCEPTION

Numbers 13:26-33
Devotional:- “There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight” (v.33) NKJV

    No one will be able to fly when he has a wrong perception of him/themself. Wrong self-perception is to look down on your personality. To disqualify yourself from the race set ahead of you. To look at yourself as being weak. This could become a weight on you and hinder you from being able to fly in life.

This happens to us because sometimes we allow people’s wrong comments about us to dominate our minds. Some people have the picture of successful men and women in their mind, and anytime they look at themselves in the mirror, they can't see themselves fit into a mode of success. Some people’s experience of failure makes them conclude that they can’t make it. But none of these is a strong enough reason for you to undervalue yourself.

Though God had invested so much to bring the Israelites so far, and now they are about to enter the land of Canaan but they now see themselves as grasshoppers that are not able to possess the land. This got God annoyed, and they all died in the wilderness as a result of their fear. Self-intimidation is an activity of demons and darkness. People need to be set free from such (2 Timothy 1:7). We should be careful not to equate it to a bad mood or feelings. It takes the light of the truth to shatter such spirit (Psalm 119:130). Please don’t just blame and mock such a person. 

Friend, stop underrating yourself for greater is He that is in you (1 John 4:4). You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). Look at the mirror again today and know that you are an Image of God (Genesis 1:26-30). You are the very image that could be referred to as success. You can make it, no matter what men may say about you. The only final word on your life is the word of God. You are made to fit into your destiny. God cannot make a mistake. There is a glorious purpose for your make. From the day you see yourself able, your strength will be restored, and you will also move to your next level of glory.

PRAYER: LORD, I DECREE MY FREEDOM FROM THE SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY

“NEVER YOU SAY I CAN’T DO IT BUT I CAN”

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.
