NOT AUTOMATIC

  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...

ANNOUNCEMENT

ANNOUNCEMENT        

1 Samuel 18:1-9
Devotional Verse:-“So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands." (V. 7)



    Every destiny on earth needs announcement. In other words, people need to know you for something. It is what people know you for that they will be willing to pay you for. That is why; it is so important that you serve God with your gifts and talents so that the world might discover you. God placed in your life something that the world needs, but if you are not announced to your world, you may not be discovered.

   When David made himself available to solve the problem of defeating and killing Goliath, he became popular in Israel. By this popularity, the king became jealous of him. Nothing promotes and announces like service (Mark 10:44-45). No matter how rich you are in special abilities, it is service that will reveal you to people. David was already anointed to be the king, but announcing himself to be anointed King will be suicidal (1 Samuel 16:1; 13). No one knows him before; it is his willingness to serve that brought his glory out. It was his willingness to serve that brought him to the palace (1 Samuel 16:18).

   Friend, no matter your age, God can still manifest His glory in your life if you will humble yourself to allow God to introduce you through service. Think of something you can do to bless others in your community, in your office, and in the family or house of God. Soon, people will get to know the rich blessing you have for your world. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the courage to serve you not withstanding 

“SERVICE IS THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT”

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.
