GREATNESS

  GREATNESS   Luke 1:26-37 Devotional:- “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David” (v.32) NKJV One of the strong prophecies that was spoken about Jesus was that He would be great. I have discovered with time that lasting greatness is given by God. Therefore, it becomes unattainable only by labour but by God’s favour. You hardly see anyone who doesn’t desire to be great, but greatness is life's answer to a few people. This is not because many people don’t labour for it, but because God did not approve their greatness. I need to bring you to an understanding of how to contact true greatness. It comes through the combination of virtues called labour and favour. These two virtues come from both man and God, respectively. Man labour but God favour. Anyone can easily give himself to effective labour, but if the favour of God does not come on it, greatness may not respond. We have a blessing in the birt...

CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM

CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM  

Philippians 3: 17-21
Read: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 20)


 

   There are only two kingdoms in the realm of the spirit and dual citizenship is not permitted. The two kingdoms are; kingdom of God and of the devil, Kingdom of light and of darkness, Kingdom of righteousness and of sin, Kingdom of goodness and evil. If a man is not a citizen of the kingdom of God, he is automatically a citizen of the kingdom of the devil. That is why some people, though they go to church, yet will not be in heaven with Jesus (Matthew 7:20-23)
 
   The word of God says, our citizenship is in heaven. This means the spirit in us is that of God, the creator of heaven and the earth. It is true we are on the earth but we are not of the earth (John 17:16). That is why as a child of God, heaven ought to be your final destination.
 
   A major factor that differentiates the citizen of these two kingdoms is the life they live. A citizen of heaven is saved and redeemed by the blood of the lamb and he or she knows (John 1:12, Revelation 5:9-10). A citizen of heaven does not live in sin (1 John 3:8-9). He does not follow the way of the world (James 4:4, Romans 8:7). He does not desert the fellowship of children of God for human pleasure (Hebrew 10:25).  He enjoys serving in the kingdom of his father (Psalm 122:1). These are the people who can overcome in this wicked world and please the Lord. Make up your mind to be a citizen of the kingdom of God and you will be ready for eternity with God. Peace
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a permanent stay in your kingdom.
 
“NO DUAL CITIZEN IN THE SPIRIT”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
