  REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 Devotional:- “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” (V.11) It is important you realize that life here is a rehearsal for eternity. Just like you spend nine month in your mother’s womb, but that was a preparation for the real life, so also is life here compared to eternity. No matter how many years you spend here it is not up to one percent of eternity.  The scripture we read today says that God has planted eternity in our heart. That is why you don’t want to die. But as God’s kingdom citizen, death is not your termination but transition. So, choosing where to spend eternity is what we do here. This is by choosing to relate with Jesus the son of God or with sin and devil. That means these two relationship determines where you will spend your eternity (John 3:16).  The best way to live as a child of God ...

CONTINUOUS PROMOTION

CONTINUOUS PROMOTION             

James 1:12-20
Devotional:- “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (V. 12)


   The reason why a child of God should keep living a victorious life is because by it, we keep having our promotion in the strength of the spirit. Every time a child of God overcome a challenge the revelation and the faith that gives us victory becomes our testimony and make us to have a new rank in God.
 
   That is why the Bible tells us not to blame anyone for going through challenges (James 1:13-14). We are challenged because it is our weakness that allows it. When a Christian is not praying very well or relaxing in relating with God or in studying the Bible or serving, the devil will soon take advantage to sneak into his life and cause a problem. That is when the presence of God we use to avoid, becomes where we will run to (Psalm 34:4). 
 
   This makes us to awake and rise up in God to find our victory. Though, it ought not to be so, but it’s like, that’s how we are. So, whenever you are faced with any kind of challenge in most cases, it’s because your spiritual tyre is deflated. You will need to search your way out and double up in strength (Isaiah 59:1-2). So, warm up, arise and face your challenges. Stop running about. You are up to it (1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 John 4:4). You are about to overcome and move to a new realm of power. Peace. 
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to arise

“WE ARE BOUND TO OVERCOME FOR OUR PROMOTION”

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.
