  GRATITUDE Malachi 2:1-5 Devotional:- “if you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send curse upon you, and l will curse your blessings. Yes I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart to honor me.” (V. 2) NIV In such a period like this one of the things God expects from you and me ls that we should be grateful unto Him. It is a great thing that the Lord has kept us to See the end of another year. You need to know that countless number of people have been swallowed by death in the year. Even if many things are yet to be where you expected them to be, death will never be a better option for you and your family. God has kept you because He still has a good plan for you. He still sees a great future ahead of you. So be grateful. In the scripture we read today God expected the priest of which you are one (I Peter 2:9) to be grateful unto Him but they did not, so He cursed their blessings. May your blessi...

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM   

1 Peter 2:1-10
Read:  “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."” (v. 6)


   Jesus laid the foundation of the kingdom of God we are in today. He has brought us in as a domain of God. (Colossians 1:13). This foundation was laid by the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. This is the major reason He died on the cross that we might be brought in and be purchased into God by His blood. (Revelation 5:9-10). This foundation was prophesied by the prophets in Isaiah 28:16, 8:14.
 
   Jesus was speaking about the foundation of this kingdom in Luke 20:17-18. Apostle Peter also refer to it as the Chief corner stone (1 Peter 2:6). This is because the blood of Jesus contains the life of Christ (Leviticus 17:11). He became the sacrifice for our salvation and the price of our redemption (Revelation 5:9-10).
 
   That is why no power can tamper with you because your life is built on the life of Christ (Colossians 3:3). Whoever wants to destroy you must be destroyed. Why? Jesus died to give you this salvation and who ever want to take you from it must die too. No matter what you are faced with, you cannot be ashamed but overcome. The life of Christ will always fight for you and give you victory (Revelation 12:11). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to stand firm on this foundation of Christ.
 
“YOUR FOUNDATION IN CHRIST CAN NO MORE BE MOLESTED, THE OLD IS OVER FOREVER”

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.
