  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

THE FATHER     

Luke 11:1-8
Read:- “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven” (V. 2)


   One of the reasons most people don’t understand the kingdom of God is because they do not see God as a father. Jesus came to connect us to God as our father. The reason for this is because they consider God to their earthly father who does not mostly operate by fatherly principles. The reason some can’t take God as a father indeed is because they feel He does not care for them (1 Peter 5:7). They feel, they pray and He does not answer. That is why so many people silently feel disappointed in God (Luke 11:5-8).
 
   The truth is that, there is no father like God. But we should know that His ways are different from our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). When we think He does not answer us, He has given us the best for that season (Luke 11:11-13). He can see beyond what we can see. He knows far more than we know (Romans 11:33). Often time, when we think He is doing badly, He is actually doing well, but because we can’t see much, we blame Him. We are often limited by this physical body to see many things.
 
   Friend, take God as a true father from now because there is no one who can father like Him. When you start to figure Him as your father indeed, then you start to enjoy His fatherly care. (1 Peter 5:7). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a testimony of your fatherly care.

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.
