Proverbs 25:21-28

I need to let you know that one of the enemies you must overcome in life is yourself. If not, you cannot successfully rule over anyone in this world. This is enough weapon in the hand of the enemy to keep disqualifying some people from getting to their place of destiny in life. 

To rule yourself means to be the one in control of your life. If other people still have to control you before you do well, it means you are a slave in your mind. And that is not the will of God for you. This also means the ability to determine to do what you should do and keep doing it till you succeed is in you. 

You need to know that many things in life want to control your life negatively, even your body. You will observe that many times you love to do something, and eventually you do not do it. It is a product of a lack of self-control. It is one of your greatest enemies. You must learn to say no to many things in life. Things like idleness, spending all the time jesting and watching videos. Sometimes you don’t feel like going to work and just feel like sleeping all day. These are factors of failure (Proverbs 6:9-11). The Bible says, if you live this way, you are a city without walls that is open to any sudden attack of the enemy. Friend, start to say no to tell your body what it should do. Paul said. “I put my body under subjection” (1 Corinthians 9:27). Your body should not control you. Rise up and be strong, and you will succeed. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to be able to rule myself.

“IF YOU KEEP FOLLOWING THE DESIRE OF YOUR BODY, IT WILL KEEP DRIVING YOU NOWHERE”

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
