  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...

LITTLE BEGINNING

LITTLE BEGINNING​​​

Matthew 14:13-21
Devotional-“And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."”  (V. 17)



    Creating achievement and success demand the wisdom of little beginning. Those who put their trust in money will have many frustrations. This is because it is not always available enough to start most projects. That is why your hope should not be in money, but in the living God who can provide all things.


    Jesus had compassion to feed thousands of people but what was just available were five loaves of bread and two fishes. Most people will look at this with “not enough” mentality but Jesus has “it is enough to start with” mentality. If you don't have “it is enough to start with" mentality, you will always be afraid to step into great things. Jesus lifted the little to God in thanksgiving and gave the disciples to share. When you are grateful for the little, it will keep flowing (Psalms 67:5-7). Thanksgiving get God involved in our matter (John 11:40-44). As they were sharing it, the bakery of heaven was supplying.

    Friend, stop waiting for money for steps of faith to be taken. Believe in the ability of God to provide. Be thankful for the little, it is the beginning of abundance. When you are sure God is leading you to embark on a project or a transaction, thank Him for the little and step out (Zechariah 4:10). Just obey the Lord (John 2:1-10). Have the mentality of “it is enough”. When God is added to it, you will see God in action and you will have surplus in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always believe you for my supply

“WHEN THANKSGIVING IS ADDED TO LITTLE, GOD WILL TURN IT TO SURPLUS”

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.
