LISTEN TO HIM

  LISTEN TO HIM John 10:1-10  Devotional:- “And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice” (V.4) NKJV If we are going to enjoy the love of God, then we must learn to listen to Him and follow Him. Shepherds are often very caring. They always take good care of the sheep. They help them locate where green grass is And take the sheep there. They even sit down with the sheep till they fill their belly with green pasture. They take them to where there is good water and sometimes get the water for them to drink so as to be satisfied. This is because every shepherd is fulfilled by looking at his sheep, who are healthy and well-fed. Jesus is the shepherd of our souls (John 10:11). He wants to lead us to the best in life, but we must listen to and follow Him (Psalm 23:1). You need to recognise His voice. The scripture we read today said, “…his sheep know His voice.” The voice of the Lord is His word. Whatever He is going to ...

GRATEFUL HEART

GRATEFUL HEART           

Scripture Reading: Psalms 100:1-5
Devotional -“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (V. 4)



     Gratitude is one of the attitudes of mature people. Gratitude is an attitude that proves a man to be wise. As simple as gratitude is, so also as difficult as it could be for many people to demonstrate. The truth is that, the praise of God demands that we are thankful and to be thankful we will need a grateful heart.

   The word of God commands us to be thankful unto God (Psalm 100:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Disobedience to this often leads to barrenness and stagnancy (2 Samuel 6:20-23; Malachi 2:1-2). The progresses some ought to have made are hindered by ingratitude. So many people sing praises to God daily but they are not thankful (Matthew 15:7-9). A grateful heart is a heart that is humble to appreciate what God is doing. People lack a grateful heart because they are highly ambitious. Their plans are higher than that of God. So, whatever God is doing is not appreciated.

   Friend, God’s plan for you is good and He has the best time to bring them to manifestation (Jeremiah 29:11). Comparing yourself with others is not wisdom (2 Corinthians 10:12). No matter how great is your desire, wisdom demands that you take one step after the other to get there. So, every little step should be appreciated and soon you will get to your place (1 Peter 5:6). And everyone will rejoice with you in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to be grateful

“A GRATEFUL HEART, IS BUILDING UP FOR GREATNESS”

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.
