  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

IMAGINE HIS PRESENCE

CourageToLead.comScripture Reading: Psalms 16:1-11
Devotional: “I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved” (V. 8)
It is important for you to know that your imagination is an instrument of the Spirit. Imagination is simply image formation. It is a mental image formation, but when you are connected with the Holy Spirit, you can see deep things through it. With imagination, you can be in your room from your office. This same way, you can be in the presence of God by imagination.
King David said, “I have set the Lord always before me because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved”. This is by His ability to imagine that the Lord is with him. To be in the presence of God, learn to imagine the presence of God with you. If your imagination will not be taken over often by the devil, then learn to imagine the word of God. Turn scripture to picture. Your imagination of the word of God helps you perceive the things of the spirit. What you see in your imagination will be real to you.
He said, He will be with you, so, imagine Him there. How? The word of God describes the throne of God with light and lightening (Revelation 4:1-6). God is called the father of light (James 1:17). No shadow on His throne. Moses’ description told us the throne of God was like consuming fire (Exodus 24:16-18). Imagine Him as the Bible says He is. See yourself in His presence before His throne. Then, your spirit can deeply begin to commune with God. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, let me know your presence always.

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
