  NEVER FORGOTTEN Isaiah 49:13-23  Devotional:- “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you” (V. 15) NKJV Delays in some situations of life could sometimes make one feel forgotten. This could make anyone feel neglected and hated. Have you ever been in a situation where everyone was served but you alone were forgotten? This could bring a big embarrassment. But God cannot make such a mistake. Before He began serving, you were the one in His mind. His mind is filled with the memory of your love.  The scripture we read today says, even if a mother forgets to nurse her child, which I think is impossible, God said He cannot forget you. If a woman, for example, is far away from a child which has not been weaned, two of them will not find it easy. The baby will soon be crying, and the mother’s breast will soon be heavy and painful. Friend, God can never forget you. That is why He said He ...

SACRIFICE

SACRIFICE

Genesis 8:15-22 
Devotional:- Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offering on it” (v. 20) NIV

    Believers need to purge their minds of earthly beliefs and philosophies that are contrary to the word of God to be able to enjoy the best of God. Most people don’t want to ever hear teachings of sacrifice because something in man will always want to resist the way of God, but our flesh will only want to sanction the things of the Spirit. 

Sacrifice is an offering to God, a gift of our love to prove our appreciation to Him. It is our seed for a greater response from

God. It is a sign of appreciation to God for the past benefits. It is what triggers God to establish His covenant of blessing with man. No life will succeed without sacrificing.

Noah had been saved from the flood. He and his family thought it wise to sacrifice and appreciate the Lord for His mercy toward them. Little do they know that they were about to make God release another covenant blessing upon their lives and destinies.

When God smelled the aroma of the sacrifice from the bottom of His heart, he pronounced a great blessing that has preserved the earth till now. Friend, don’t be pushed. Plan to make a sacrifice to the Lord from your heart as the new year begins. Just like God blessed Abraham from His heart (Genesis 22:17), He will also bless you. Look for something precious to do for the Lord and His servants. Let it be precious and painful sacrifices for a precious covenant. Sacrifices are not always easy, for they are precious seeds for the release of precious destiny and its actualisation. It’s your turn to rise.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be willing to sacrifice for the release of my destiny.

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.
