A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

KEEP OBEYING IT

KEEP OBEYING IT                

Leviticus 26:3-12
Devotional: -“'If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them” (V. 3) NKJV


   Every time God wants to promise His people to perform His covenant in their life, He will always start with the word ‘if’. ‘If’ is a word of condition. That is, these promises are for those who will obey these covenant instructions. This is because; God is a covenant keeping God. In covenant, each party has their role to play. It is as you are faithfully playing your role that God can play His own role.
 
  God promised in His word that if His people will obey His instruction, He will give rain in its season and fruits in its season. That tells you the power of obedience to the word of God. God always promise the best to those who obey Him (Isaiah 1:19). This means obedience makes us activates the power in the word of God. As powerful as the word of God is, disobedience could hinder it from working in the life of anyone (Deuteronomy 28:15).
 
  Friend, let us ask for the grace to always obey the Lord. We cannot need this grace enough. Human being are always tempted to disobey their maker. But keep it in mind from now that you must always obey the Lord. When you have made up your mind, the grace will always be sufficient for you (Psalm 119:11). And the Lord will always work wonders in your life. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always obey your word.
 
“OBEDIENCE TO THE COVENANT EMPLOYS THE COVENANT POWER”

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.
