  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...

MENTAL ENERGY            

Job 29: 1-13
Devotional: -“Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent” (V 4) NKJV


   God who is a spirit, breath on the dust formed at creation and the spirit by his energy created all the organs of the body (Genesis 2:7) one of the organs created in the body of man is a soul. So, man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body like the shell of a snail. The soul has three compartments, the intellect that thinks, the will that decides and the emotion that drives the energy into the body for actions.
 
   It is important you come to know that the mind can do many great things but not without the supply of the energy to the mind. Then your intellect starts to think it, pass it to the will to take decision then it is pass to the emotion to drive the body into actions. This spirit can be of the devil or of God. The kind of spirit determines the kind of actions, either righteousness or wickedness.
 
   Friend, until you learn to always wait on the Holy Spirit, to give you His energy, another spirit will be supplying the energy for wickedness, sickness or discouragement. That is why resolution and determination can fail. This is because they are not backed up by the energy of the spirit. Your mind only process energy that comes from the spirit. That is why it is so important that you do not only receive the Holy Spirit, but learn His ways. And you will be unstoppable.
 
Prayer: Lord, teach me the way of the spirit.
 
“THE SPIRIT DRIVING YOU DETERMINES YOUR DIRECTION AND ACTION”

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.
