LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE

  LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE Ecclesiastics 4:1-6 Devotional:- "Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind” (V.4)   One of the most frustrating things in life is when people don’t know what exactly to live for. In that case they just live doing whatever they find others living for.  So many people live their lives driven by guilt. So they keep regretting their steps and past. Some live all their lives on resentment and anger. So many lives are in disarray because they are victims of transfer of aggression. So many lives are driven by fear of many things, so many live their lives driven by materialism, so they live a live that is never satisfied pursuing money. Other lives are driven by the need for approval. So it is what people say about them that determine their joy. The best way to live is to be driven by purpose for which God made you.  When you allow God’s purpose for your life...

DELIGHT IN THE WORD

DELIGHT IN THE WORD

Psalm 119:97-104        
Devotional:- “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (v.103) NKJV

One of the greatest strengths of joy is the Word of God. The truth is that man’s life is a product of the information that he always listen to. If a man always hears about wickedness, he will be wicked. If a man keeps hearing sorrowful news, he will keep having sorrow. But for those who will always commune in the word of God, they will keep their joy by the word of God.
This is because the word of God is good news; it’s the joyful news. There is no way you will give yourself to regular drinking from the word of God; that joy will not be produced regularly in you. The word is a sure source of joy.
The psalmist says God’s word is sweet not only to him but also to everyone who loves it. The reason why many Christians today still have sorrow despite the Bible in their hand is that it is a book to decorate their shelf at home and their church hand. Many only have the bible as a religious book and not as the word of life. To many, it is just an ordinary book that contains the story of the birth, life and death of Jesus.
See, if you will create time to start to study and meditate on God’s word, it will birth eternal joy in you. The word will give you a sweet life and success (Joshua 1:8). And no one shall destroy your joy.

Prayer: Lord, put the love of your word in my heart.
“IF THE WORD IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR JOY, NOTHING IN THE WORLD WILL BE ABLE TO DESTROY IT”

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.

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.
