WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT

  WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT  Isaiah 8:11-18 Devotional:- “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17) God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence. In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten. In such ti...

MEDITATION                

Psalms 119:97-104
Devotional:- “I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation” (V. 99) NKJV


   God has made us a being that can meditate. The challenge is that we meditate over different things. Some people meditate over problems but few meditate over solution. Meditation is like squeezing the Spirit of a matter into your spirit. Any matter you are meditating on will deposit its spirit in you. That way, you will contact the energy of the spirit to act accordingly (Joshua 1:8)
 
   There is a spirit of understanding (Isaiah 11:2). It is an arm of the Holy Spirit. People without understanding will struggle through life (Proverbs 21:16). This Spirit is one of the evidences of the energy of God at work in you for great achievements. This Spirit comes as we meditate on the word of God and ask for it in prayer. Stop meditating over your problems; it will multiply the spirit of troubles.
 
   Delight or love the word of God (Psalms 1:1-3). That is not religion. It is fellowshipping with Jesus who is the word of God (John 1:1). Don't play down on the word of God again. You don't need to study big volume per time (Joshua 1:8). Every time you are faced with a challenge, search out how God solved it for someone in the Bible. Then sit with that word and it will give you the energy for solution. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to always meditate on your word.

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.
