LIBERTY

Acts 16:16-30
Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them” (v.25) NKJV

One of the greatest results of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a believer is that he is set free from the cages of life. When a man is in bondage of life, he cannot have full strength in him. But even when a man who has gained his liberty by the Spirit of God is bound in prison, the joy in him cannot be hindered (Acts 16:23-25).
In the scripture we read today are the events of Paul and Silas, the apostles of Jesus, who were imprisoned for preaching the good news. But though they are in prison, the Holy Spirit has set their heart free, so physical prison cannot stop the joy of God in their life. And since their heart is set free by the Holy Spirit, the natural bondage cannot hold them (2 Corinthians 3:17).
You as a believer, must be careful not to allow anything to bind you when Christ has set you free (Galatians 5:1). One of the factors that composes the atmosphere of joy is liberty. If you want joy in your house or office, you must therefore stop the bossy, caged or tense atmosphere in your house. Introduce Jesus to members of your family, and the law of liberty will set them free from sin and the devil into joy. No matter the law, when there is no liberty of Christ in the home or any organisation, then joy will be absent. But where there is liberty of the son of God, there will be joy.

Prayer: Lord, let your Spirit bring joy to my home.
“HOLY SPIRIT GIVES LIBERTY AND LIBERTY GIVES JOY”

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.
