  GREAT HOME John 14:1-6 Devotional:- “In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (V. 2) NKJV At creation, God created man into a paradise made for his eternal pleasure. God did not intend that the human race would ever live in suffering. Man was made to enjoy the best of mental exertion for a beautiful outfit. Man was to live forever in the paradise of God. But the devil cunningly deceived man, which made God chase man out of the paradise. Since then, the life of man has been terrible and most miserable. That is why when people have everything they need in this world, they will still discover that they are not fully satisfy. There is no place we can live that will fully satisfy us. This is a factor and the fact that something in us is still looking for something somewhere better than this world. In search of this, some people try to go to the moon and other planets. But in the scripture we read today, Jesus ...

SELF DISCIPLINE

SELF DISCIPLINE

1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Devotional- “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified”  (V. 27)



   It is almost impossible to create any good thing in life without self discipline. The truth is that with the virtue of self discipline, there is nothing in this world that any man can not achieve. This is because self discipline is putting yourself in the mould that is necessary for the formation or bringing forth a thing. Everything you need to produce demand some set of condition before it can be shapened to what you desire. A person preparing for an interview must study to come out successfully. A manager must educate, delegate and evaluate.


    Paul the apostle said that he had to discipline his body not to be disqualified. In self discipline, it is the body we disciplined to adjust to a mould to create a goal. Those who cannot discipline themselves cannot achieve many things on earth. Envying someone or blaming someone is wrong. When you identify the mould or the condition to achieve anything be willing to subject yourself to it. If you think you need it and you don't know what it takes, ask those who are achieving it.

   Friend, never consider your achievement and your success impossible. The word of God says “I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me” (Philippians 4:13). The information you are reading today is out to empower you by the Spirit of the Lord. You are not less than anyone in ability. You only need to discipline yourself to face it. You will succeed in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, whenever and wherever I need to discipline myself, let me enjoy your grace.

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.
