NOT AUTOMATIC

  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

CORPORATE FELLOWSHIP

-
What it means to be a Christian in America todayCORPORATE FELLOWSHIP 
        
Hebrews 10:19-25
Devotional Verse - “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” (V. 25)


    We experience corporate fellowship whenever we join with other believers to fellowship together. This has tremendous power in bringing about the manifestation of God (Matthew 18:18-20). Fellowshipping alone with God is great for your growth in Christ Jesus but fellowshipping together will make greater power available for the deliverance of a believer.
    The word of God says we should not forsake the gathering of one another as in the manner of some. In corporate fellowship, God’s presence is guaranteed. In corporate fellowship, we generate the release of greater energy of the spirit for each ones miracles. That is why the devil will do everything to discourage the coming together of children of God. Jesus said “whatever we bind in corporate fellowship here on earth, He will bind in heaven, and whatever we lose in corporate fellowship will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:19-20).
    Friend, it is simply the deception of the devil to make you get busy of the time of corporate fellowship. He is simply keeping you away from your freedom. It will never take more than a single church service to deliver you from that trouble and establish you in your place. Just be sure you have a focused heart in His presence. Note that there will be distractions by friends. Battles you can't face alone are easily defeated when believers pray (Act 4:31, Act 12:1-10). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to enjoy the blessing of your house from now.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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

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.
