  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

PURSUE PEACE

PURSUE PEACE

Hebrews 12:12-17
Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (v.14) NKJV

Some people don’t know that a peaceful relationship is in their best interest. They do not know that it is ignorance to be wicked and be in conflict with others. Little do most people know that a peaceful relationship is basically good for their health and well-being. That is why a peaceful man will live long in health.

God’s word teaches us today to strive to attain peace in all our relationships with others. The Bible doesn’t say we should try to do that, but it says we should strive. This is because it may not be easy. Man, as a social and emotional being, cannot help but relate with others. We often finds constraints in doing so because of our differences, which can lead us to offend one another; we often find it tough with some people.

Notwithstanding that, the Bible commands us to pursue peace with everyone so that we don’t block our access to God. This is being humble to let go, tolerate and forgive. This gives peace and joy. Such people will live their life in joy, health and peace all their days.
No matter how difficult it is, forgive others and keep your joy, for the sorrow belongs to the enemy.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to live in peace with others.
“HE THAT DO NOT STRIVE TO LIVE IN PEACE WILL END UP LIVING IN PIECES”

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.
