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...

SLEEP ABUSE

SLEEP ABUSE

Proverbs 6:6-11
Devotional:- “How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?” (V.9) NKJV

    Today, we talk so much about drug abuse because of its evil effects on the lives, making people live abnormal lives. It could affect the mind and make people lose control of their lives. But little do we often talk about other things we abuse in life that could also bring life and destiny to a total disarray. One of such is excessive sleeping.

Just like men could become addicted to drugs, so also can sleep. Just like drugs could be detrimental to life, so also is excessive sleeping. When you consider the purpose of sleep, it is to have a wonderful effect on the body. It reactivates our mental and physical strength. It replaces lost energy. It relaxes our entire system and reorganizes it for better performance. 

As good as its functions, as bad it can turn to a man when it is abused or taken as pleasure. This could turn into a terrible habit. God’s word says, A little sleep, a little slumber, so poverty comes into the life of many. Friend, stop celebrating sleep. Discipline yourself. Be aware that your destiny could also be awake.  Stop sleeping over six or seven hours on average. No one receives a benefit for excessive sleeping. This is your year of progress. Move yourself out of slumber. And your entire life shall resurrect.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO BE DELIVERED FROM EXCESSIVE SLEEPING.

“THE COMPETITION OF SLEEP IS ONLY REWARDED WITH THE AWARD OF POVERTY”

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.
