SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

GOD’S BLESSINGS

Proverbs 10:14-24
Devotional:- “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it” (v.22) NKJV


God, in his goodness, have been so gracious to the sons of men in this season, and many of God’s children are beginning to enjoy the blessing of the Lord. This is God’s faithfulness. If you have not entered into your portion now, it shall come. It is important that we understand that these blessings can only be preserved when we disallow the seed of sorrow to come into them.
The scripture we read today says, “it's only God’s blessing that is void of sorrow”. This means when we allow God to be our source, our joy is guaranteed. It means dubiously seeking a blessing will produce sorrow. We should be careful not to crave for money and employ wicked means to attain it. Such is a seed of sorrow (Proverbs 15:27).
Please refuse to join those who are cheating, stealing, killing and doing all sorts of things today to get money. Such is not a blessing but a curse. God’s hand will surely be against such till it is destroyed (Proverbs 13:11). Look unto God to help you. Seek counsel from men of God on your business and pursuit. Be careful to retain the fear of the Lord in your heart.
See, he that gets it wrongly will lose it. He who afflicts someone to make it will also lose it in affliction. So love the way of the Lord, it is the way of peaceful prosperity, and your life will be filled with joy.

Prayer: Lord, plant your fear in my heart for joy
“IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET JOY IN A DUBIOUS WAY”

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.
