SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

THE POWER

THE POWER           
 

Hebrews 4:11-16
Devotional: -“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (V. 12) NKJV

   It is important we come to realize that what we call power is in the word of God. It is by the power of the word of God that God made the heavens and the earth (John 1:3; Hebrews 11:3). If the power in the word of God is what made the world, then, all we need to make our life good and fulfilled is in the word of God.


  The Bible says “The word of God is powerful” To be powerful is to be full of power (Ecclesiastes 8:4). To be full of power means, it has ability to execute anything without delay or hindrance. The Spirit and the Power of the word have no rival. Nothing can stop it. The Bible says the word of God is life, in other word, it is living. (Hebrews 4:12) NLT. The Bible says the word of God is a Spirit (John 6:63). 
 
  So, whenever God speaks the word, the Spirit jump out of His mouth as a being to carry out what God is saying. That is why the word of God cannot fail. This word creates (Hebrew 11:3). This word heals (Psalms 107:20). The word controls (Proverbs 21:1). The word of God can bring what is scattered together (Ezekiel 37:7). Every word of God is with power (Psalms 1:37).
 
  Friend, all we need to do is to allow the word of God in our heart and it will cause great change in our lives (Ezekiel 37:3-5). You need to learn to apply the word of God over your life. The word will restore what have been lost (1 Samuel 30:8; 18). It will renew your strength and your joy (Isaiah 40:31). The time has come for you to allow the word of God in your life. Then your life will begin to experience great changes. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, teach me to enjoy the power in your word
 
“THE WORD OF GOD IS POWER”

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).

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.
