Our mind is the major part that permits or refuses the enemy into our lives. When a man’s mind is intact, his life is intact. Our mind play a major role in our success system. It determines the state of our lives and destiny. Where you are now is where your heart has permitted you so far (Proverbs 23:7). Our mind is a material part of our soul that exercises thinking. It is the one that receives or rejects information. Since we know that our mind is this valuable to us we ought to do everything to keep it diligently.  ...

SELF DENIAL​​​​

SELF DENIAL​​​​

Luke 9:23-27
Devotional- “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me”  (V. 23)



   The act of bringing forth anything that is worth having in this world, demands the virtue of self denial. This is because any attempt you want to demonstrate to achieve anything good will be resisted. The devil will use many things to stop you from achieving the goal. The enemy will often use 'self' to stand against self. That is why you must learn to deny self . Self is the Adamic, canal and sinful nature in man which always stand against what is right (Romans 7:18-20, Romans 8:7-8).


   Jesus said, if anyone will be My disciple he must deny himself first. To deny self is to refuse to follow the way of the flesh. The flesh or self will always want to stand against people at the point of achievement because man unconsciously feed himself daily with lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life (1 John 2:16-17). So, what we have fed it with, makes it strong to always stand against our desire to succeed. There is therefore a strong need for self to be denied to be able to achieve your goal. It is when you need to study to face an interview that you will be tired etc.

   Friend, bringing forth good things in life demands that you learn the act of self denial. Telling your body 'you cannot have my attention now'. Why is it when the word of God is being preached that you feel tired? Why is it when you need to fast that you will feel hungry most? Though, some days, you don't eat and you don't feel it. When you learn to deny self, you will be able to create your desires and success. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always deny myself to achieve good things.

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
