GOOD REPORT

  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...

LOOK FORWARD

LOOK FORWARD

Philippians 3:12-16
Devotional:- “...but one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (v.13) 

    It is a clear thing to us all that there is no one walking and looking backwards who will not find an accidental occurrence. It is therefore very delicate to be driving and keep looking backwards. Such a vehicle will not find it easy to arrive where it is going. Yet, this is how many people live their lives.

They often get too affected by the things that have happened to them in the past. Little do they know that this is the trick of the enemy to distract them from being able to move forward in life.

Let us learn a great lesson from the life of Paul the apostle, as we read in the scripture today. He realised the fact that he had not attained God’s goal for his life despite all the miracles God did through him. He still learnt to forget the past and look forward to a greater glory ahead.

Our experiences are made up of three types of events. Bad ones, regretted ones and good ones. We will help ourselves to forget the bad experiences of the past, learn from the regretted ones and thank God for the good ones. Get to know that whatever is past is irreparable. Bothering yourself about them is simply wasting your time since you can’t amend them. Please let them go. There are better experiences of life waiting for you. Please let the past be passed so that you may not pass with it. Look forward, and you will be able to achieve God's plan for your life. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to forget the bitter experience of the past. 

“IF YOU DON’T STOP LOOKING BACKWARDS, THINGS WILL BE GOING BACKWARDS”

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.
