  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...

LOVING THE KING    

1 John 4:12-21
Devotional: “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (V. 16)
    
     Anyone who want to be part of the kingdom of God must be willing to love the king of the kingdom. Those who do not love the king cannot have the best of the kingdom. The foundation on which the kingdom of God is built is love. That is why it become so important for all in the kingdom to build in the foundation of love. This is so important because God is love (1 John 4:7-8)
 
    To love Jesus who is the King, you must be willing to accept Him as your Lord and savior. This is because He has shed His precious blood to redeem your soul (Revelation 5:9). To love Him you must be willing to obey His instructions (John 14:15). To love Him you must love other people also (1 John 4:20). To love Him you must love His word (Psalms 119:97-99). To love Him you will love to spend time with Him in worship and prayers daily (Job 22:21). To love Him you will love to serve Him (Job 36:11). To love Him you must be a giver and be willing to share His good news with others (John 21:15-19). 
 
    Friend, this is what it takes to have the best of the kingdom of God. This will be possible by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). And the king will bless you. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, let the Holy Spirit help me to love the Lord indeed
 
"ONLY THE LOVER OF GOD WILL STAND TO THE END"

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 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.
