  GROWING Ephesians 4:9-16 Devotional:- “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head of Christ” (V. 15) God’s plan and desire is that we grow up. So many Christian today are growing older but not growing up. Many are stocked in perpetual spiritual infancy. This is because they never intend to grow. Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort and persist in growing. Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ (Matthew 10:25). In your spiritual growth, God has a part and you have a part. To be Christ-like you will need to make Christ like choices and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill those choices. The moment you are ready, you will need to let go of some old routines and develop some new habits. You will need to intentionally change the way you are thinking (Philippians 2:12-13). To work out your salvation with fear and trembling means to take you...

BE A BLESSING ​​

BE A BLESSING ​​

Mark 10:17-31
Devotional-“Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."”  (V. 28)



   A wonderful way to create your own blessing, is by being a blessing. To be a blessing means, you encourage others with what you have. To be a blessing, is to sow the seed of grace into the life of others. A great number of people just don't know what to do with their lives. They just need a little push to move forward in life. Someone need to part with his time, energy, money, gift and special ability to lift up others.

   Today, we talked about Peter, John and other disciples of Jesus as though we are talking about spirits, and not humans. God did tremendous things through them (Acts 19:11). This was because, they left all they have, they follow Jesus  and served Him. Peter asked Jesus about their reward and He told them, they will have hundred fold. God is looking for people He will use to reach out to others, let him find you. When you have the opportunity, be a blessing to others using what you have.

   It's not a good thing to give out what you don't have or what is not yours. If God is asking us to bless others. He knows we are able. One of the major reasons He made you is to use you to bless others. You are saved to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2-3). Don't slack your hand when you are to be a blessing. Don't complain when it is time to give since your reward shall be multitude (Luke 5:1-11; Malachi 3:10-12; Galatians 6:7-10). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, ordain me a blessing to my generation 

“A MAN IS EITHER A BLESSING OR A BURDEN”

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.
