  NOT AN ACCIDENT Isaiah 44:1-5 Devotional:- “Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: 'Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen” (V. 2) In discovering the purpose of your creation, it is important that you know that you did not evolve accidentally. You are a product of the conscious plan of God. The word of God says before we were formed in our mother’s womb, He knew us. This means, before you were in the womb of your parent you were first in the womb of the mind of God (Jeremiah1:5) God prescribe every single detail about your life before you were made. You colour, skin, hair or your race. He determines your skills, your uniqueness or your natural talents (Psalm 139:15). Your parent may not have planned your birth but God did. He chose your mother and your father to form the blood group He wants for you. He makes sure that you are raised in the right community and your background. All these things were determined...

SANCTIFIED             

John 17:9-19
Devotional: -“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (V. 17) NKJV


    Knowledge sets free. Knowledge equips and builds strong; build courage and confidence. Much more, the knowledge of the truth do sanctify. The word ‘sanctification’ means separation unto the Lord. It means, brought to the side of God. It means, made to be only a vessel of the Lord. The power in the word of God translates people from darkness to light (1 Peter 2:9).
 
   Jesus was praying for the church and He asked the father to sanctify us by the truth. This is because when someone hears the truth and gave himself to it, he will discover the right and the wrong information. When such person allows the Spirit of the word, then, his/her soul shall be converted to the Lord (Psalms. 19:7; Psalms 51:13). The more you give yourself to the study of the word God, the more you experience the convention to the side of the Lord. Christians who are found doing ungodly things are those who refuse to give their heart to the truth of the word of God (Romans 1:18-25).
 
   The truth is that, it is the truth of the word of God that sanctifies us and purify us unto God. That is why a Christian that is not given to studying the word of God, either personally or with the church will not be for the Lord. At the point of temptation he will discover he lacks the stamina to stand. You only belong to God as you give yourself to the words of God. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to give myself to the study of your word.
 
“YOU WILL ALWAYS BE POSSESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF WHAT YOU KEEP HEARING”

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.
