  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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.

To understand what courage is. You can view it from discouragement. Courage is the opposite of discouragement. It is an internal strength that is generated by a great desire to achieve a goal. Everyone has courage, but it differs in levels. When the level of courage generated by a man is not strong, then achievement may not be easy.

Most of the glorious things God has prepared for you this year need a good level of courage to have them. God told Joshua, “Except you are courageous, you may not enter Canaan.” This message is also for you. The way to keep growing in a good level of courage is to be highly selective about the kind of information you are receiving. Learn to always be where you will be encouraged. This is gotten in the house of God (Psalm 84:7). You also need to learn to always encourage yourself. Waiting on others to always encourage you is a weak level (1 Samuel 30:6). You will always need to be highly determined to achieve your goal. Also, watch out to make sure you are not doing something that is against God’s will, that will make you lack divine support (John 15:5). Any program or project that God is not involved in will surely fail at the end. Acknowledge God in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). Always go out with a winning heart, ie expecting victory by the help of the Lord. And God will always surprise you. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to develop enough strength of courage for my achievement this year.

IF YOU ALWAYS REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED, YOU WILL ALWAYS ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL

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 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.
