Title: Temptation!

-
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 1:2‭-‬3 KJV
Devotion: Temptation means enticement, allurement or bait. The end result is to do evil meaning the father of temptation is devil. Temptation always come colourfully, fancifully and looks desirable so that to the tempted it will look good as if it was from God. 
 Test is the opposite of temptation because it always leads to promotion if you passed the test. It comes from God or authority and it is for our upliftment. It may be harsh or unpleasant but if we endure the end result is progress either in the physical or spiritual.
 God does not tempt, this is why we must study the word of God and understand it, if Jesus did not understand the word when devil tempted Him after the 40 day and night fasting Christ would have succumbed to the enticement of devil Matt 4:1-10.
 The same can happen to you and me, we can conceive the idea in our mind it will look beautiful but once we start to implement it, the devil will capitalize on it and the person will fall. Therefore before we do or act we must make sure the process passes the integrity test according to the bible.
Dear reader, do you have any concerns share it with us and let God direct you.
Hallelujah.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
