RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Devotional Verse:- “For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ” (V. 5)



   Part of the instruments of service to God in our lives is our experiences of life. It is not just for fun that God allows you to go through all you have gone through. He is making you to go through all you are going through because He wants to use you to help others out of their troubles. You really cannot help people out of what you have not gone through before.

   We can see in the word of God multitude of different experiences passed through by Apostle Paul and his team. All of these cumulate to the richness in the writings of Apostle Paul and his team. The same is applicable to you too. Your destiny in God demands that you go through some hard times. God allow them to create a mode for your purpose of service to your world (Hebrews 5:8). Each of your experiences in your family and in your marriage; your experiences in your school and where you work, your experiences in your walk with God and in the church, your experiences in your businesses. Your pains, problems, hurts, thorns and trials. They are what makes you rich in been a blessing to others.

   Friend, stop getting embitter at God because of your experiences in life. Don't turn negative either (Hebrews 12:5-11). Don't grow a bitter heart, it only produces a bitter life (Hebrews 12:15). It's important you see that the plan of God for you is good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11). Look at the lessons you have learnt and use them to help others out and you shall be a blessing to your generation. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, reveal your blessings to me in my pain.

IF LIFE NOT IS PAINFUL, IT WILL NOT BE GAINFUL”

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 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.
