  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 IN THE KINGDOM

STRENGTH IN THE KINGDOM     

Psalm 84:1-12
Devotional: “They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion” (v. 7)


 

   The strength that the kingdom of God supplies to the life of the citizen is by the word of God. The word of God is the power of God. It is through the word that God creates (John 1:1). God made us like Himself, to be able to bring forth things by His word. The word is the power of God to heal and to deliver (Psalm 107:20). So many children of God have not understood the power of the word of God. Some are still confused about it.
 
   To understand the power of the word of God, you need to know that it is information that transmits the spirit from person to person. When evil people speak, they transmit evil spirit to the hearer. When the word of God is spoken, the forces of the Spirit are released to be at work (Psalm 103:20). The example of this in the physical realm is when the president of a nation speaks, the law enforcement agent takes charge to enforce it, so is the word of God (Hebrews 4:12)
 
   The power of God is the release of the Spirit of the word of God (John 6:63, Psalm 107:20). Whenever you are meditating in the word of God, you are receiving strength to win (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3). That is why you must always be in the place to hear the word of God. It will produce faith, courage and right thinking in you for achievement. Then, you will be stronger than the forces against you.(Romans 10:17, Psalm 119:97-100). Peace!
 
Prayer:  Lord, help me never to lack your strength.
 
“THE WORD PRODUCES STRENGTH IN YOU FOR YOUR VICTORY”

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.

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.
