JOY OF PARENTS

  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”

WHAT IS STRENGTH?

WHAT IS STRENGTH?

I Corinthians 2:1-6
Devotional:- “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,” (v. 4) NKJV

    All God’s children must understand what strength is. This present world only recognizes that there is strength, but most people don’t understand what it is or where it is from. If anyone is not strong, neither will he/she be able to share with the strong (Isaiah 53:12). Strength is not in words, but it is in the demonstration of power.

We are confronted here with powers, so we also must be equipped with stronger powers if we must overcome (Ephesians 6:10-12).

Strength is an inbuilt ability. It is deposited inside and manifests outside. Strength is the energy of God deposited in a man by His Spirit (Acts 1:8). Someone can only gain strength when he/she has equipped themselves with it. It is not possible to be strong and not demonstrate it when it is needed. Strength will always seek expression for victory.

There are different types of strength. It could be spiritual, mental or physical. These three are interdependent. It is the strength of your spirit that determines that of your mind, and that of your mind determines that of your body. Physical strength is useful in physical races and battle, but spiritual and mental strength are the real strength of life. You can gain the strength of God by fellowshipping with Him through His word and prayers (Psalm 84:7). The word of God commands us to be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10-12). Those who grow their muscles do it consciously. It takes a conscious step to grow your strength in God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, open my understanding to the way of spiritual strength.

“GOD, WHO IS A SPIRIT, IS THE STRENGTH OF ALL THE LIVING”

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.

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.
