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”

BE VIGILANT

BE VIGILANT

1 Peter 5:5-11
Devotional:- “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (v. 8) NKJV

    Just as a soldier on the battlefield, so are Christians in this world. From the day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have departed from the camp of the devil to that of Jesus (1 Peter 2:9). And these are the camps that are ever against one another, just like light and darkness cannot coexist.

So you, as a Christian, must not be weak or insensetive. You must be vigilant. The word vigilant means to keep your mind to be at alert. It means you must be sensitive. It means you must be ready. To be sober simply means to humbly accept the responsibility of battle. This is because God has not promised us a battle-free life. If the devil is looking for people to destroy, it must not be you. So you must be equipped to the teeth.

You must have a good understanding of your weapons of war, which are the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and the mentality of what these weapons are all about. You must also put on the whole armour of God, which includes the truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit. Never be caught unaware. These weapons will never fail. Don’t watch the devil messing up with your life and family. Without faith, none of these weapons can work (1 John 5:4). Set your faith to make them work, and they shall work for you. The enemy shall lose in your life.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to always be on alert.

“IT IS A GREAT RISK TO BE SLEEPING AT THE BATTLE FRONT”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.

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.
