Daniel 1:1-9

No matter what the enemy is doing to afflict a man, if he is disciplined, they will not overcome him. Discipline is the ability to subject or control oneself to do what is right, notwithstanding the situation or the challenges around. God cherishes people who can do this, and they will surely be delivered from the troubles. 

Daniel was carried as a slave to Babylon, but he was not a slave in his mind. Many are free physically but are enslaved in their mind. So he does not just get to Babylon to be doing anything but only what is right. A privilege was given to him to stay in the palace and to drink and eat the palace food, but he knew that it was a sin to the God of Israel to drink strong drinks (Leviticus 10:9, Proverbs 20:1). So he disciplined himself to please the Lord notwithstanding his problem, and he was lifted at last. 

Friend, if you let your challenges turn you into a thief, liar, drunkard, wicked one, fornicator and the like, then the devil has won. His goal is to actually destroy your life and destiny. So, in the midst of the challenges, discipline yourself to stand, even at your own little level. Refuse to join wrong associations, know where to go and where not. Don’t join evil practices around you. Stand right for the truth notwithstanding. Then the Lord shall soon see your uprightness and favour you. Where they said you will not be, you will soon be there. God has given you a lasting glory. It might look delayed, wait for it, and it shall soon come. 

Prayer: Lord, uphold me by your right hand of righteousness (Isaiah 41:10)

“KEEP DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND YOUR LIFE WILL SOON BE BRIGHT”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.
