  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...

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT         

Romans 9:14-24
Devotional Verse:-“But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"” (V. 20)


   In the plan of God for making you, He has the best in mind for you (Jeremiah 29:11). The form by which He made you may not be the one like that of your friend, but it is the best for you. Most people compare their life with others and the Bible says, this is not wisdom (2 Corinthians 10:12). This is the reason why many will never fulfill their destiny.
 
   The word of God says the potter have the right to determine the shape of the clay. It is the potter that knows the reason he wants to make the clay into what shape. It is therefore wisdom that a man should accept the mode God has made him into and be happy with it. Many struggle with life today and fails because they don't like the way God made them. No one will ever be happy trying to be like another person. Your sense of self-esteem and joy will be of quality when you accept and celebrate what God has fashioned you into.
 
   Friend, things don't have to go for you the way it goes for your friend. You need to be grateful for your mode or your shape in life. You need to love your life and be thankful. Then you will be able to make the most of your life. Not everyone will like what you do, yet, the people you are sent to will always celebrate you. Don't let the devil steal your joy of service. All you need to do is to grow in your shape. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to always celebrate myself

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.
