  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...

SPEAK OUT

SPEAK OUT

Exodus 11:1-8
Devotional:- “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold” (v.2) NKJV

    Thousands of people have been trapped unnecessarily in life because they do not understand the need to open their mouths. They have not come to the light that God would do nothing for us until we open our mouths (Numbers 14:28). Many have missed a lot of help and favour that would have cheaply come their way because they close their mouths.

In the scripture we read today, God had given the Israelites favour and had prepared the help He had for them in the hands of the Egyptians. He told Moses that the people must be willing to speak out and ask. God was giving them wisdom from the school of favour. Your mouth is the purchasing power in this world. In Nehemiah 2:1-7. If Nehemiah had kept quiet and just been sorrowful and moody. he would have missed his favour. If Peter had not spoken out when he was sinking in water, he would have sunk (Matthew 14:30)

Friend, you have missed too many things. God has packaged so much favour for you this year. But you have to speak out. Understand the difference between begging and asking. Begging is the lifestyle of a lazy man who is not willing to work but consistently depends on what he has begged from others. But asking is a wisdom principle in God. And it is the major key that opens the door to receiving (Matthew 7:1). In most cases, God is the one who should put it in your heart to ask. That is why it will be possible. Friend, stop keeping to yourself. A problem shared is halfway solved. So that you don’t bottle in too much to later burst out. Open your mouth and God’s authority shall fill it (Psalm 81:10). It’s time to ask for your benefits from that office. But make sure you pray and be convinced that God is guiding you before you go (Proverbs 3:5-6). You are not too old or too young to have a car. God has gone ahead of you. Speak to that lady. Ask that man. And God’s favour shall work for you.

PRAYER: LORD, MAKE ME BOLD TO ASK FOR MY FAVOUR FROM NOW ON.

“IF YOU CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, YOU CLOSE YOUR FILE OF LIFE”

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.
