TODAY'S DEVOTION.PRINCIPLE OF PROSPERITY .

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Why is life so hard? Why do we suffer?” (Job 7:1 CEV)

How do economies get broken? Because we ignore God’s financial principles.The principles of accounting, good record keeping, saving, spending, giving, investing and living within your means are all biblical principles. God says that if you follow them, he will bless you with prosperity. That does not mean everybody can be a millionaire, but God says you will only have what you need if you follow his Word. 

“Here is a terrible thing that I’ve seen in this world. People save up their money for a time when they need it and then they lose it all in some bad deal and end up with nothing left to pass on to their children” (Ecclesiastes 5:13-14 TEV). What Solomon observed in his time is still true today, because sin continues in our world. When the stock market falls, we say, “That’s not right,” but it’s part of living in a world broken by sin.

Sin also creates a loss of meaning, fulfillment, and purpose in your job and in what God created you to do. Solomon was not immune to this. In Ecclesiastes 2 he says,“So I came to hate life because everything done here under the sun is so troubling. Everything is meaningless like chasing the wind… So I gave up in despair, questioning the value of all my hard work in this world” (Ecclesiastes 2:17, 20 NLT, second edition). 

Solomon realized that satisfaction does not come from working really hard to make a lot of money or to achieve a bunch of accomplishments. The sin that causes financial difficulties may be that you are misusing the money God gives you. 

TODAY'S INSTRUCTION.
Assess your financial (and vocational) situation and ask God to reveal the things he needs you to see.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2.

POTTER'S TOUCH DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 10TH APRIL, 2018. TODAY’S DEVOTION: BLOOD OF RESTORATION. PT 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" (1 Corinthians 10:16 KJV). Every communion table is a kind of renewing the covenant of restoration. Nothing can be more exciting to know that like a meal I can eat and drink blessing of restoration. Look at how Jesus put it Himself," Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." (John 6:53-56 KJV).  So except you keep eating the body and drink...

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2.

POTTERS TOUCH DEVOTIONAL. SATURDAY, 21ST OCTOBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE, STOP WORRYING PART 2. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT, second edition) We established in yesterday's devotion that it takes more than willpower to stop worrying and that it takes four things to stop worrying. Firstly , get to know God first and secondly put God first in every area of your life.We will be looking at the other two today. 3.Live one day at a time. The Bible says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34 NCV). If you’re worrying about tomorrow, you can’t enjoy today. You will miss today’s blessings. It’s okay to plan for tomorrow, but you have to live for today. When you’re always worried about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the grace...

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY.

MONDAY, 11TH SEPTEMBER 2017. TODAY'S DEVOTION.CRITICISM AND PROSPERITY. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Start with God. The first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning” (Proverbs 1:7 MSG). Have you noticed that once you establish a goal in your life, you start hearing people say, “Who do you think you are, you think you have money?” or “It can’t be done just like that, how can one just prosper in these hard times?” or “Forget about it, they are all thieves! Etc The antidote to the voices of doubt is listening to the voice of God. Just imagine all the critics that were in Noah’s life. “That guy Noah thinks God speaks to him, but he’s just messing up the master plan of our city by building that ark in his front yard.” The Bible tells us that Noah listened to God. What did he hear? He heard God’s warning that the world was going to be destroyed. He belie...
