  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...

STRENGTH           

Psalms 18:21-30
Devotional:- “For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall” (V. 29)


 

   For a man to stand in victory, he must be courageous, confident and strong. God keep speaking to Joshua, “you need to be bold and courageous” (Joshua 1:5-9). His assignment was to lead Israel to fight, conquer and apportion them their inheritance. This task cannot be accompanied without been confident and courageous. Fearful people cannot achieve such task.
 
    David also gave the testimony of his ability and it was all by the Lord. David told us of how much he was able to run through a troop and leap over the wall. That was a great strength beyond his power. David revealed the secret of his strength to us in Psalms 18:28. He said it is the Lord who lightens his lamps and enlightened his darkness.
 
    Friend, strength comes by light. This light is the revelation of the word and the power of God to your mind. What makes a man gain the strength in His spirit and stimulate his mind for uncommon strength to act supernaturally is revelation of the word of God. This will always take you to a new realm of strength in your spirit man. And you will be strong enough for victory. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to always swim in your strength.
 
“IT IS MEDITATION THAT PRODUCES REVELATION”

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).

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.
