JOY IN THE CITY

    JOY IN THE CITY Acts 8:1-8 Devotional:- “And there was great joy in that city” (v.8) NKJV Another powerful producer of joy is Christ in your life (Colossians 1:27). Christ can change our sorrow into joy. He came to set us free from the power that caged us in sorrow. He came to give us the key to joy. Many have not come to know that having Christ in their life is not just about going to church. The truth you need to hear is that when you give room to Christ in your life, you have given room to joy (Luke 2:10). The scripture we read today is the report of what happened to the city of Samaria. They accommodated Jesus Christ in their life, and God’s word reported that there was great joy in that city. The confusion is that there are many in church today without Christ; they have confessed Jesus Christ as their Saviour, but they don’t have room for him in their heart. They are workers and leaders, but have no room for Christ. When Christ has room in your life, He will change yo...

REVEAL YOUR WEAKNESS

REVEAL YOUR WEAKNESS                

1 John 1:5-10
Devotional Verse - “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (V. 9)
 
    People can only have the best of fellowship when they don’t hide behind one finger. True fellowship demands openness in sincerity. This is important so that God’s mercy can allow us to access His presence. Man by every standard can never be qualified to stand in the presence of God. All that the Lord desire of us is that we humble ourselves and open up to Him.
 
   The word of God says “if we say we have no sin, the truth is not in us”. But if we open up our weaknesses to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us. Opening our wounds to God gives Him the access to heal us. But pretending before your God is pride. So, to enjoy true and impactful fellowship demands that we don’t cover up before our maker like Adam and Eve did (Genesis 3:10).
 
   Friend, no one is covered and nothing is hiding before the Lord.  Playing hide and seek eliminates you from those who will prosper by the Lord (Proverbs 28:13). Whenever we reveal our weaknesses before Him, we enjoy His mercy. His mercy gives us access to his favour. This makes us partaker of His grace to prosper. Repent and forsake those sin and you will enjoy His mercy. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, I need your mercy

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
