LOOKING UNTO HIM

  LOOKING UNTO HIM Psalms 34:1-7 Devotional:- “They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed” (V. 5) NKJV To enjoy the love of God for us, we must learn to keep looking unto Him. The scripture says, they looked unto him and were not ashamed. No one trusts in Him who will be ashamed at the end. It is amazing that Joseph, whom they sold as a slave, eventually became a ruler. Because that is God’s plan for Him (Genesis 45:1-9). Amazingly, Abraham, who had no children for almost a hundred years, at last became the father of eight children before he died (Genesis 25:1-2, 9). These are proofs of God’s faithfulness. Because He also has a plan for each of us, He does not want us to be discouraged or frustrated, but rather to keep looking unto Him. This is because He has a plan for us, and it shall surely come to pass. That is why He said, "I know the plans that I have for you; they are not of evil, but good, to give you a hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). H...

COURAGE

COURAGE            

1 Samuel 17:31-51
Devotional:- “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God" (V. 36)


 

   Courage is a product of light and light is by revelation. For a man to encounter revelation about the power and the glory of God, he must give himself to meditating in the word of God. No matter who a man is or what a man is; he will still be afraid at the face of the threat of the devil or situations bigger than him. But, it is light that can shatter or dispel darkness.
 
   God wanted Joshua to build up in courage and He showed him the way of courage (Joshua 1:8). You don’t gain courage because you have muscle, if not, it is not David that should be bold to confront Goliath (1 Samuel 17:32). He did not gain courage by muscle, but by light (1 Samuel 17:26, 36, 45). David had the revelation of the fact that the army of the living God cannot be defiled or defeated. This revelation built spiritual courage in him so much that he was courageous to confront Goliath.
 
    Friend, it is the deception of the devil to make you play down on the word of God. The word is your strength (Daniel 11:32). Don’t think life is just casual. Take time to regularly meditate in God’s word. Stop arguing or rationalizing it with your brain. Create quality time to study and meditate in His word daily. And the world will hear about your victory. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me by your words.
 
“WHEN YOU START TAKING THE WORD OF GOD SERIOUS, THEN, YOU WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUS”

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 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.
