  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

FELLOWSHIPPING WITH BELIEVERS

FELLOWSHIPPING WITH BELIEVERS         

Psalms 84:1-12
Devotional:- “They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion” (V. 7) NKJV



   A major thing God want to achieve by bringing us together as a family of God in the church is that, Jesus the head of the church might flow His energy to us all. That is why when we gather together in the church; our aims should not just be that our needs might be met alone. It should be that the energy of God might flow to us through our Lord Jesus.
 
   Whenever the energy of God flows to us, we are able in God to achieve great things for His glory. That is why no section of the service should be dull. All the workers should be filled with the fire of God through relationship, so that when we come together, we affect each other positively with fire of His presence. The weak becomes strong. Those who are down in the spirit are elevated. The greeters, security, sanctuary cleaners, children teachers, choir, ushers and all other departments should be boiling with fire of His presence before the service. Waiting to manifest His power so that power of sin will dry up, the lame can walk and the blind can see. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, make me a vessel of your energy
 
“FIRE SHOULD NEVER GO OUT OF HIS ALTAR”

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.
