  LIVING IN PURPOSE Proverbs 19:20-29 Devotional:- “Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand” (v.21) AMPC. Our God is a God of purpose. He does all things for a purpose, and He will do nothing for nothing. Everything we see in this world has a reason for existence; even the ant and the mosquito have a reason for their existence. If there is no purpose for them, they will not be created. The beauty is that everything will enter into their season of joy when they locate their purpose and stay in it. It is important that you come to know that you are created for a purpose. You also need to know that it is only in fulfilment of your purpose that you can experience great joy. It is as sweet as when a nut finds the right screw and they just fit perfectly. It is as if a door finds the right key and it opens easily. Also, life can be smooth and become interesting when you locate your purpose and walk in it. Please understand that God’s purpos...

GIVER'S JOY

GIVER’S JOY

Acts 20:31-38
Devotional:- “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'" (v.35) NKJV

A man, in his poor way of looking at things, thinks it is wiser to keep receiving. But do you know that it is more blessed to give? Some only want to enjoy receiving, and they don’t enjoy giving. Some will even give water to you as if they are giving their blood. So many don’t even have the mind of a giver. They prefer to keep saving (Proverbs 21:26).
But we need to understand the purpose of our creation. Man is created to be a giver. We are created to help others. It is only in giving that we can find joy and fulfilment. It is often said that the hand of the giver is always at the top (Proverbs 22:7). It is in giving that we can be blessed. 
Please understand that God is always looking for givers. Every time God impress it in your heart to give, He is only testing you before enlisting you among channels of blessings (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). Why? He wants to supply the needs of some people, and He is always looking for people who will make themselves vessels and channels to reach out to others So that He can keep supplying through them (Proverbs 19:17).. Therefore, the vessel cannot lack or be in want of anything.
Friend, it is more blessed to give than to receive. From now on, seek to give by the use of your talents, money and time to feed some people. Bless them and put a smile on their faces. Make good use of this season of giving. Look for someone in your neighbourhood, in your office, in your church and bless them. Do it at your level, and the New Year will bring an abundance of blessings into your life.

Prayer: Lord, plant in me a giver’s heart.
“HE THAT CHOOSES TO BE A BLESSING CANNOT BUT BE BLESSED”

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.
