THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

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.

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.

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.
