'Two are better than one...' Ecclesiates 4:9
On February 26, 1995, Barings, the oldest bank in Britain, announced it was going into bankruptcy after losing almost a billion dollars. In late 1994 the chief trader at Barings' Singapore office began betting big on Japan's Nikkei market. Then disaster struck. An earthquake hit Japan and on January 23, 1995, the Nikkei plunged more than 1,000 points, and Barings lost big money. But instead of cutting his losses the Barings'…

"You shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you THERE."
-1 Kings 17:4 (AMP)
God
has a plan and purpose for every one of His children, it is important
for us to know this and align ourselves into His plan for our lives in
order for us to benefit wholly from His grace and provision.
God
instructed Elisha to go to the brook, it didn’t seem to be a very good
idea then, as there was famine in the land, the credit crunch was so
bad,…

Three times the Bible says, '...Abraham lifted his eyes...' They represent three stages in your walk with God: 1) When God reveals Himself to you. 'Then the Lord appeared to him...as he was sitting in the tent door...So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men [angels] were standing by him; and when he saw them, he...bowed himself to the ground, and said '"...do not pass on by Your servant'' (Genesis 18:1-3 NKJV). There must be a moment in your life when you meet the Lord,…

"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Luke 9:62
“The most common trait I have found in all people that are successful
is that they have conquered the temptation to give up.”
Peter Lowe
The
key to winning in life is to hit the pedal and keep going. There will
always be some hiccups here, missteps there, but no matter what, don’t
stop. Sometimes, it might look like…

'...And go all the way with him...' Philippians 3:10
While John
was a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos, far from his loved ones and
surrounded by the cries of abused captives, he had a vision of Jesus.
He writes, '...When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead...'
(Revelation 1:17 NKJV). Incredible revelation in the midst of
confinement, chaos and pain; that's how it works! The difficult
circumstances you're going through right now can actually clear…

'"Because you have been trustworthy..."' Luke 19:17
Money will
buy you a bed but not sleep, books but not brains, food but not an
appetite, a house but not a home, medicine but not health, luxuries but
not happiness, image but not character, and religion but not salvation.
You say, 'Does that mean God doesn't want me to have money?' No, He
will actually trust you with more money when you demonstrate that your
trust is not in your money, but in Him alone…

'"...Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation..."' Matthew 26:41
The
enemy knows what your God-given potential is, and he's out to stop you
before you reach it. Prayer puts a shield of divine protection around
you; don't live without it! There are hands holding this devotional
that may not be here next year unless somebody prays on their behalf
(Luke 22:31). There are people reading this page who thought that they,
of all people, would never 'blow…

'We are citizens of heaven.' Philippians 3:20
Patrick Jenkins
says, 'Having lived in South America as missionaries, my family and I
realised that moving to another jungle location meant a lot of work. We
knew the discomforts of such things as snakes and bugs. One morning, a
few days after beginning to clean our temporary home, the family and I
were taking a short break. While we were drinking tea a large black
beetle flew through the room making a loud…

'...He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.' Psalm 91:11
Every two weeks the missionary went to the city to purchase medical supplies for a small field hospital where he served. On one of his trips he saw two men fighting on the street. One was seriously injured so he stopped, treated his wounds and shared God's love with him. Then he headed for home, stopping in the jungle to camp overnight. When he visited the city two weeks later a man approached him; the same one…

'...you... tested us... refined us like silver... brought us to a place of abundance.' Psalm 66:10-12
When
Jesus explained the cost of following Him, some of His disciples walked
away. Yet the impact of those who didn't is still felt in the world
today. By the time they wrote their epistles, His apostles had learned
to see every test in life as a chance to strengthen their faith and
multiply their effectiveness. Tests of faith are opportunities…

'In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne...' Isaiah 6:1
The
Bible says that in the end times certain things will happen. For
example, 1) '...you will hear of wars... famines... and earthquakes...'
(Matthew 24:6-7 NKJV). For much of the world, these things are now a
daily reality. 2) Jesus said, '...many will come in My name... and will
deceive many' (Matthew 24:5 NKJV). In recent years we've seen the rise
of false prophets…

'...My purpose is to give them a rich... satisfying life.' John 10:10
Jesus
wants you to enjoy a '...rich... satisfying life' (John 10:10 NLT),
without getting bogged down by things that don't add value or meaning.
Life coach Robyn Coffman says, 'Clutter isn't only what you can see;
it's what you can't see. It perpetuates your overloaded schedule,
endless commitments and overwhelming fears. A cluttered mind means
over-thinking, over-reacting,…

Eli the High Priest lived to see his two sons killed in battle, the Ark
of the Covenant captured by the Philistines, and his daughter-in-law
give birth to a child called Ichabod, which means 'the glory has
departed from Israel'. There's a lesson here. Today the devil is trying
to take the Ark - God's influence - out of our homes. Through media and
peer pressure the forces of darkness are seeking to capture the minds
of our children by exposing them to the wrong…
