BLESSINGS Ephesians 2:1-8 Devotional:- “How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.” (V. 3) TLB. In the demonstration of the love of Christ to us, believers need to come to awareness that He has made every blessing available to us in heavenly places. You need to know that nothing happens physically on earth unless it has been first approved by heaven. You will observe some people trying to achieve something you consider not too difficult, but it eventually becomes impossible for them. This is because heaven has not approved it for them. You must have heard apostle Paul use the language, “from the foundation of the world," which is the things already concluded in heaven for us.  But as for you, the Bible says, God has already blessed you with all blessings in the heavenly places.

CONTENTMENT

 

CONTENTMENT

I Timothy 6:3-12
Devotional:- “Now godliness with contentment is great gain.” (V.6) 6 NKJV

For anyone to sustain the spirit of joy, he must learn to exercise godliness with contentment. One major reason why people quickly lose their joy is their fear of lack. This is a feeling of losing what they have. This is a fear of unknown or undefined unexpected problems that may occur.

In the scripture we read today, God’s word explains to us about something that is of great gain to us. The word contentment means to be calm and at peace in every situation. It means not to worry but expect the best of every challenge. The godliness that the Bible talks about here is to remain in your godly virtues, no matter what is happening. This will make you find it easy to believe God for supply, and it shall be so. And in the midst of this, you will have peace and joy.

Friend, if you still have a problem with letting money go, thinking of how you would get it back or getting worried about your progress in life, fear of, can it ever happen? Then you will always lose your joy. But for those who can combine contentment with their trust in God, the Bible says they shall not be put to shame (Romans 10:11). It is time to understand that you are not what you have, but what you are. So even if something looks reduced, you can always get it again. Put an end to this worrisome life. Believe God to continue to sustain you by His grace. Let God’s promises comfort your soul. Leave all the “what if” to the devil. And you will live your life in ever-progressing joy.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be grateful at every level and every time.

“CONTENTMENT WILL LET YOU KEEP BEING GRATEFUL TILL YOU ARE GREAT”
