GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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”

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.

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.
