A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

KNOWING GOD            

Daniel 11:29-39
Devotional :- “ Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32)


   One of the major deceptions of the devil is to make man feel that all is limited to the physical (Hebrews 11:3). Therefore, man becomes limited to what he can see. That will simply make lives hopeless. But all of that, are lies of the devil (John 8:44). When a man knows God, he will start to operate at the realm far higher than the natural.
 
   The Bible says “some will be corrupted with flattery”. This is because they will play into the deception of the devil to disobey the covenant of God. They will argue the scripture. They will cancel the covenant of God. They will become encouragement of disobedience. So, their lives will become corrupt with time. That is, their mind will be malfunctioning (Romans 1:28)
 
   To know God is to know His name. It is to know His word and His ways. The revelation of the name and the ways of God makes you confidence to walk in power. Knowing God demands searching for Him through His word and not through nature alone (Proverbs 25:2). It takes seeking, to find out who God is (Matthew 7:7). When people know who God is, then they find strength of faith in His covenant (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). This will make them to be rude to the devil and resist him because they know his weaknesses. Peace. 
 
PRAYER: Lord, reveal to me the power in your name and your ways.

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.
