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”

OTHER PEOPLE’S CASE

OTHER PEOPLE’S CASE                                              Genesis18:16-33  Devotional:- “Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?” (V. 24) NKJV

     Do you know it is of a great advantage when you once in a while leave your own matter and take up other people’s case with God. This is what is called intercession, when you take up the act of interceding you enjoy grace to walk out of your challenges without stress. This is because the act of intersection is a symbol of great and sincere love. When you live with the attitude of love you enjoy God more.

Lot was a relation of Abraham who did not really do well in the course of separating from Abraham yet love will not let Abraham hold him in heart and not forgiven. The place Lot chose to dwell was to be destroyed by God Abraham had to intercede for Lot and saved him. This act of intercession is great before God. He said I look for an intercessor but I could not find one (Ezekiel 22:30)

Friend, sometimes for the sake of love, you need to take up matters of people before the Lord. Feel along in their pain, ask God to answer their prayers. God will then start to give you revelation about the people, so that you can understand their problem for you to pray. In the course of time God will also start to show you your own matter too and your prayers will be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I ask for grace to be an intercessor

“WHEN YOU TAKE UP OTHERS' MATTERS, GOD WILL TOUCH PEOPLE TO TAKE UP YOUR OWN MATTER.”

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.
