  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

PRIDE

Proverbs 16:10-19
Devotional:- “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (V 18) NIV

    Strength is primarily a function of grace. A man is strong because God has granted him the ngrace. That is why you will observe that each man is strong in different areas of life. The area of our strength is simply the area of our grace, and the giver of grace is God. Therefore, it demands that we humble ourselves to retain our grace.

God’s word says, God increases grace to the humble (James 4:6). This means pride is a destroyer of grace. God will withdraw from a proud man. When God withdraws from a man, he will depend on his own strength, which will soon finish. The strength of a man is like the strength of a battery without an alternator of a car. It will soon be used up

King Nebuchadnezzar was truly strong, and he did not realize that it was a function of grace. So he took to pride. And he finally became like an animal until he was humbled.

Friend, pride is a destroyer of strength. It removes people from their place of strength. Always ask for grace to be humble. Don’t let people push you up to puff up. Always take the place of the humble so as not to lose your strength. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always be humble.

“A PROUD MAN IS UNKNOWINGLY DRAINING HIS OWN STRENGTH GRADUALLY”.

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.
