JOY OF PARENTS

  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

WRONG FOUNDATION

WRONG FOUNDATION

Psalms 11:1-7
Devotional:- “If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” (v.3) NKJV 

    It is of great importance that people consider the foundation of their lives to be one of the most vital things. Most people do not know that the foundation they lay for anything they do in this world is what determines the future of that venture. Very many people, especially the young people of this generation, just think that when one starts doing something, the way they start does not matter. He can always make up later. But this is never so.

When a builder wants to build a house, he takes time to prepare the right foundation. The depth of the foundation determines the strength, the span and the safety of the building. If the foundation is weak, both the builder and the owner of the house will surely face a risky future (Matthew 7:24-27). But when the foundation is sure, you can be sure of peace later. Jesus likened such a builder as wise because they build on the rock.

Be careful, don’t start your home, school, business, or ministry with lying, unfaithfulness, stolen materials, quarrel or rebellion. The future will be full of pain and struggle. It is the reason for much failure and frustration in society today (Proverbs 13:11). Ask God to give you special grace for a good foundation (1 Timothy 6:19). The enemy will always want to push people towards a wrong foundation for future frustration. Be careful, seek God’s grace and guidance with patience; then you can be sure of a glorious tomorrow. Your place will be at the top.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME GRACE TO BE HUMBLE AND PATIENT FOR THE PROPER FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE.

“MOST WRONG FOUNDATIONS ARE UNAMENABLE EXCEPT TO BE PULLED DOWN TO START ALL OVER.”

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.
