  RAISING GODLY FELLOWSHIP Ephesians 4:1-6 Devotional:- “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (V. 3) It is only the Holy Spirit that can raise true and godly fellowship of believers but He uses the committed members of the body of Christ who make themselves available (Ephesians 4:3). It is by God’s power this is possible but we must choose to commit ourselves to the work of the kingdom wherever we find ourselves either in the school or in different community on earth. To raise a genuine and Godly fellowship we must share the truth of the word of God and not of human philosophy (Ephesians 4:15). To raise true Godly fellowship takes humility, self-importance, and stubborn pride easily destroys fellowship. Humility is the oil that makes relationship smooth (1 Pet 5:5). To develop humility, admit your weaknesses, be patience with others’ weaknesses, be open to correction and showing others the Bible love (Rom 12:16). Humility is not thinking less of yoursel...

PERSISTENCE ​​​​

PERSISTENCE ​​​​

Genesis 26:15-29
Devotional-“And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."”  (V. 22)



   Until a man is willing to persist, creation of greatness is impossible. Those who are not willing to persist often give up and never achieving their goals. To persist is to be willing to continuously pursue your goal even when it is taking a long time. To persist is to give unrelenting efforts in the pursuit of a goal. That is why you need passion in your journey to success.



    We saw the example of persistence in the testimony of Isaac. God instructed him to stay in Gerah. God told him not to migrate to Egypt contrary to his plan. Probably, he has even secured the visa, but at last he obeyed the Lord. In that time of famine, he had the revelation of planting and wetting through irrigation. So, he dug wells to get water. The herdsmen kept standing against him by quarreling with him over it. But he employed the mysteries of persistence. He kept moving to other places to dig and God was giving him water.


    There is no one on the journey of creating achievement that the forces of the world will not stand against. That is why you must learn to employ the force of persistence. Don't keep changing profession or looking for easy one. There is no work that is easy. When you are labouring in the path of your passion, you have enough energy to succeed in it. So, persist in your pursuit. Anything worth achieving will demand your persistence. Don't give up and soon you will move up. Peace!


PRAYER: Lord, help me to identify my passion for my persistence

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.
