  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...

SPIRIT OF SPORT

SPIRIT OF SPORT

1 Corinthians 9:19-27
“Devotional:- Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” (v.24) NKJV

    We need to come to the awareness that life is a race. Therefore, if a person does not carry a sportsman's spirit, they may never win in the race of life. This is why God’s word encourages us to run so that we may obtain the precious prize of glory. 

There is so much to learn from a sportsman. Most sportsmen are excited about their profession. They are happy playing their games. No nation or team will not defeat a depressed team. You also need to be careful approaching your business or career in a depressed way. A sportsman will always train in anticipation of his victory. Please learn from this. Do everything daily as if preparing for the glorious destiny of your life. This will help you to be ever ready to face the challenges of life and look forward to your victory.

When a sportsman wants to start his race or game, he will determine in his heart to win the race. Every sportsman is determined to be number one. Stop settling for average and mediocrity level. Learn to aim high, though be willing to start small. All destinies have a glorious end (Philippians 3:14). When a sportsman is defeated, he doesn't give up. He would rather get challenged and move forward. No matter your experience, don’t let it discourage you from going forward. So much is waiting for you this year, but you will need a sportsman’s spirit. Soon you shall stand on the platform of glory with a gold medal of life given to you in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: LORD, I AM RISING IN YOUR NAME TO SHINE

“NOTHING WILL RISE UP UNTIL YOU RISE UP”

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.
