  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...

WAIT ON THE LORD

WAIT ON THE LORD

Isaiah 40:25-31 
Devotional:- “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint” (v.31) NKJV.

    One of the strengths for soaring yet to be discovered by most children of God is waiting on the Lord. Until we learn to wait on the Lord, we may not receive the wings that is capable of flying us to our next level. Many Christians prefer to run to their pastor whenever they are faced with diverse challenges rather than waiting on the Lord. It is good to turn to the Pastor, but better to turn to the Lord. 

Waiting on the Lord does not mean standing or staying idle. It is just like a waiter in the hotels who wait on you to know the kind of food or drinks to bring to you. To wait on the Lord means taking time to connect with Him, to receive instructions on what to do next. Listen, when God instructs you, you cannot but be outstanding in the world.

This year, learn to wait on the Lord at intervals. It is the secret of the success of Jesus' ministry. Set time aside. Find a place to be with the Lord in prayer and meditation upon God’s word to receive instruction. When you create time to wait, go with books written by men of God and your Bible. You sometimes need to be in a place alone with Jesus. You need a quiet place to have a suitable environment for this kind of spiritual exercise. This helps you to receive insight into His will for your life. He will sharpen and renew your vision. You will receive the strength to work. Soon you will be able to run. And eventually, you will be taken up above the reach of the devil. See you at the top.

PRAYER: LORD, MAKE THIS YEAR MY SEASON OF SOARING HIGH.

“IT WILL TAKE INSTRUCTION FROM ABOVE TO FLY ABOVE”

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.
