THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

BE STRONG

I Chronicles 11:13-25 
Devotional:- “Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.” (V.22) NKJV

    If you desire to move into your glorious place, one of the virtues you must put on is great strength. And please understand that I am not referring to physical strength alone, but more importantly, mental and spiritual strength. You need to understand you are not made to be weak from the on set, you are created strong. If you observe it, you will notice that almost all young people start strongly in life. But men begin to reduce in strength as they fall and rise in the race of life.

Let us locate the source of a genuine strength today. God’s word says, “a wise man is strong and a man of knowledge increases strength” (Proverbs 24:5). Just as you know that knowledge is referred to as power, but is not equal to strength. Knowledge releases power to you, and the exercise of power becomes strength. That is wisdom.

Some people know so much that they are doing nothing with their knowledge, and are counted among the weak. Act upon the knowledge you have received from God (Daniel 11:32). Give yourself to more study to gain more insight. Go in the power of this might, place your challenges with confidence in His presence, and He will join you in your battle. You are created strong. Fuel your strength with God’s knowledge, then you will be free (John 8:32; Daniel 11:32). Then you will be able to carry out great exploits.

Prayer: Lord, I am rising to shine in your name.

“NOTHING  IN YOUR LIFE WILL RISE UP UNTIL YOU RISE UP”

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.
