  LETTER OF LOVE 2 Corinthians 3:1-6  Devotional:- “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men” (v. 2) NKJV One of the things that true lovers love to use as a means of communication is letters of love. Do you know that it can sometimes be appreciated more than the person themselves being around? This is because letters are the expression of the intent of the heart of men. When men speak, they may commit error but when a man is writing, he means what he is saying. That is why most of the love letters written by men were not written once. When an error is detected, you don’t mind rewriting it. Do you know that the word of God is the perfect God’s love letter to man (Psalm 12:3)? There, He gave us all His promises. It is in the Bible, He told us how to enjoy all things in Him and how to have the best from Him. But much more than that, we are the ones expected to be the display and the demonstration of His love to others. You and I are actually the pictu...

SEIZING OPPORTUNITY

Ecclesiastes 9:9-12
Devotional:- “I returned and saw under the sun that- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all” (V 11) NKJV 

    Sometimes when one looks at this life, it looks mysterious, so much that some people think they cannot drink a cup of water will be breaking bones. Some people you expect to be accomplished mountain climbers will not even be able to take ten steps before they are weak. Someone may teach another, and they both sit for the same examination.

The teacher may fail while the student may pass. Sometimes you will see a beautiful lady who has married an ugly man. Some of us have pictures or the look of rich men in our hearts, and we are surprised that the one we least expect will be living in a mansion, and driving great cars. Some may be praying hard and may not be getting results, while some may not be praying as much. 

If you’ve been curious, seeking an answer to this question, this is offered in the scripture we read today. God’s word says, the race is not to the swift and why? Because they rely on their ability. The battle is not to the strong because they keep looking and relying on their strength (1 Samuel 2:9). Not knowing that strength on it’s own is not productive until God is involved, nor food to the wise (Proverbs 26:12): nor weather to the brilliant, nor favor to the learned because they will look down on little opportunity waiting for one day that will not come. That means all of these depend on your ability to recognize opportunities around you, no matter how Small and make the best use of them in good time.

Many of us have few opportunities around us today at home, office, School, Church and in the society. But we are looking down on them (Zechariah 4.10). Friend, start seizing opportunities that can make you great, though it looks small today. Stop waiting endlessly. You may eventually waste. Stop calling that job or business ridiculous. That is what it takes to have the miraculous. Stop feeling too big to do some work, it is pride. Humble yourself that you, may be lifted (I Peter 5:6). Don’t be too wise and be wiser than God. He has placed few opportunities around you now, just where you are. Open your eyes and see them. They will make you great. It’s your year.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be humble enough to see my opportunities.

“EVERY MAN’S WEALTH IS ALREADY ALLOCATED TO ITS LOCATION, BUT IT WILL TAKE A HUMBLE EYE TO SEE IT”

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 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.
