Pr.18:15 (LB) “The intelligent man is always open to new ideas – in fact, he looks for them” [with emphasis].
Today, we will begin with the concluding thought from yesterday’s devotional on the sources of ideas. The first source of ideas is God’s Word and the second source is Wise People. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Read the rest of this entry
Never Stop!
Prov. 15:14 (GN) “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance” [with emphasis]
The next N in Solomon’s six winning ways is Never Stop Learning. God’s Word states that, “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance.” Many people are brain dead and they have closed minds. Read the rest of this entry
A Lesson In Season
Prov.6:6 “Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! 7 Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, 8 they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter” [with emphasis].
To Step Up financially, the third thing you have to do is Save More. In order to create margin, you have to save more. The challenge most of the time is we over estimate what we can achieve on the short term and we really underestimate what we can achieve on the long term. Read the rest of this entry
Your Best
Ps.114: 6 “Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob”
When you encounter God in all His glory, the most sensible thing to do is to kneel before Him. It is senseless not to kneel before Him. Interestingly, there is nowhere in the Bible that God Himself instructs us to bow before Him. God instructs us not to bow before other gods but He did not tell us to bow to Him instead.
You Must IV
Phil.2:3 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves”
If you are still single, my advice is do not marry a selfish person. It is just an advice. Selfishness is a huge destroyer. A person cannot be selfish and humble at the same time. It does not work that way. Selfishness is one of the major cankerworms that destroys the fabric of marriage. Read the rest of this entry
You Must III
Eph.4:32 “Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you” [with emphasis].
If love is to last in our relationships, we must Listen with all our hearts and Forgive with all our hearts. Yesterday we explained the difference between acceptance and forgiveness. However, some issues in marriage are actually forgiveness issues. Relationships are between two imperfect people. Read the rest of this entry
You Must II
Rom. 15:7 “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory” [with emphasis]
The second thing that you and I must do if love is to last in our relationships is that we must forgive with all of our heart. The challenge with us is we confuse acceptance with forgiveness. Acceptance is not forgiveness. There is a difference between acceptance and forgiveness. Read the rest of this entry
You Must I
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
Paul says you and I “…must keep on loving with all your heart”. When I read this I had to ask God to help me. You must keep loving not with a part of your heart but with all your heart. The question is how can one do that? How do we keep on loving with all our hearts for a life time? Read the rest of this entry
Love Matters
1 Peter 1:22 “You must keep on loving with all your heart.” [CEV, with emphasis]
A lot of people relate with God based on His power and might. Such people would usually start their prayers like this, “Oh God of heaven, Thou mighty, magnificent, omnipotent God of the universe, I come to You today…” There is nothing wrong with that because God is all that and more.

God of Love
John 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life”.
Scientists say the moon is three hundred and eighty four thousand kilometers away. Your DNA will stretch to the moon and back one thousand five hundred times. Every time you look at the moon, remember that you are so loaded. Read the rest of this entry
