  ASK Matthew 7:7-12  Devotional:- “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (V.11) NKJV For us to be able to enjoy the love of God as believers, we must begin to ask God for our needs. It is the principle of God that you will only have what you ask (Matthew 7:7). If you don’t speak out to ask, you may not be given. This was the problem of the senior brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:29-32). Everything is for Him, but he had never asked for any. But the younger brother knew how to ask You must also learn how to ask. This is because you will only enjoy what you asked for. We therefore need to learn how to ask. The word ‘ask’ is not the same as beg or loan. The word asks suggests confidence and courage. It means to demand for what you are due for. It means to ask for your rights and your entitlements in God (Galatians 3:13-14). The bible is a book of covenant ...

LIVE READY

Genesis 14:8-16
Devotional:- “Now when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan" (V. 14) NKJV 

    I have discovered that so many philosophies of the world are becoming ineffective in this generation. Life challenges and opportunities don’t often announce themselves to us or tell us when they are coming. So, this has made many strong people victims of defeat, just because they were taken unaware and were defeated.

That is why you and I need to always be in readiness to face any challenge that comes in the course of the journey of life. Therefore, I need to let you know that you don’t need to get ready anymore; rather, you have to live ready. That is, ever ready.

In the scripture we read today, I saw something that challenged me in the life of Abram, the moment he heard that a war had been fought against his relation, Lot, he just gathered the servants in his house who had been trained to go to battle. The Bible says they were already trained. He was living ready to face any form of challenge that might come. So he gave his servants military

Friend, be wise to imbibe this mentality. Don’t wait to get ready later. Live ready in that house, that office, that school and more. Go and learn how to drive, your car could come any time. You don’t need to paste a learner's card on your car. Get your mind ready. Your new house could be through anytime. Get ready to manage your property. You could be transferred abroad and relocated to a new office, and be promoted anytime from now. This is the reason many cannot retain or maximise their lifting because they were not ready. As a minister of the gospel, prepare to minister abroad. Don’t be shocked by events. Certainly, you are going forward.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be prepared for my coming opportunities 

IF YOU ARE ALWAYS CAUGHT UNAWARE BY YOUR CHALLENGES, YOU WILL LOSE MOST OF YOUR BATTLES.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
