  EXCELLENT MIND Genesis 40:4-15 Devotional:- “So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in the custody of his lord's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?" (v.7) NKJV Man needs to wake up to the truth that when our heart is joyful, it operates more in an excellent way. The devil, having known this power, tries to keep people in sorrowful thought. Sorrow will break a man’s system down to further confusion, while positive thinking will bring forth a solution to your situation (Isaiah 12:3). Joseph was simply wise to retain joy in his heart despite all he was going through. He simply disallows sorrow in his heart. That was why he could operate far better than others in the prison yard and even could think of how to comfort them. His mind could still bring out a solution to the problem of others. If not, the day he was brought forth from prison to stand before Pharaoh, he would have lost his mind and would have been a failure. See, joy is a powerful lubric...

OBEDIENCE

 OBEDIENCE

Acts 13:42-52
Devotional:- “And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.” (v.52) NKJV

A great instrument that can sustain joy in the life of God’s children is obedience. When a man disobey God, the enemy just strategically makes him lose his right decision. The devil has just made him follow a wrong path and shunned his part in God’s help and provision. So he cannot help but experience sorrow and regret at last. Many don’t just know why they have sorrow. They do not know that they are created by God for God (Isaiah 43:21). So when man disobeys, it is life out of course (Psalms 82:5).

The disciples were led by the Holy Spirit to send Paul and Barnabas on an assignment for God (Acts 13:1-3). But as they went on their journey for God’s assignment, they were confronted with persecution by the Jews. Yet, they had great joy. This was not the joy of success but of obedience that they were walking in the will of the Father.

See, an obedient servant will always enjoy liberty and joy. It is often produced by fulfilment. You will notice that when you do what is expected of you, you just experience a sense of accomplishment. So, as a believer, you will be able to retain a life of joy when you keep obeying God (Matthew 25:21). No matter your status today, be careful not to continue to disobey the Lord, so that you don’t lose your joy.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep obeying your word.
“FAITHFUL SERVANTS ARE ALWAYS JOYFUL SERVANTS

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.

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.
