  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself.

BREAKING HABITS             

Jeremiah 23:25-29
Devotional:- “"Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”” (V. 29) NKJV


   One of the most difficult things for humanity to change is habits. It is a blessing of the Lord that we are able to form habits. These are behaviors that we demonstrate with little or no thinking. Habits determine failure or success of people on earth. Habits determine poverty or riches. Habits determine strength or weakness. Habits are what we are used to do and have become reflect actions for us.
 
   The word of God is said to be hammer and fire. No matter how hard a heart may be, the word of God can break it down. Habits are long repeated behaviors that have become part and parcel of us. It is bad habits that produces failure and good habits creates success. To be able to break bad habits like smoking, drunkenness or others, you must begin to study and meditate on the word of God. As you continue consistently, you will start to experience the cleansing power of the word of God till you start to see the change effected in you (Psalms 19:7)
 
   Friend, if you can give yourself to the word of God, God will change the bad and failure habits in you to good ones. As you keep meditating over the word of God, the truth will start to cleanse you and convert your soul to a right one. Then, good and success habits will start to develop in you (Psalms 1:1-3). And you will become successful. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, change my life for good by your word.
 
“GOD’S WORD WILL PLANT THE HABITS OF HIS GOODNESS”

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 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.
