NOT AUTOMATIC

  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...

TRICKS OF THE DEVIL

TRICKS OF THE DEVIL        

Luke 4:1-13
Devotional: “And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'“ (v.8)


 

     Jesus came to the world to establish a kingdom for God (John 18:37). This is because; God is the owner of heaven and the earth (Psalm 24:1). God made this world for the fulfillment of His plan and for His glory. But the devil has cunningly turned the world against God. The whole world lives under the deception of the devil (1 John 5:18-19). His approach is to give man pleasure and establish his kingdom and rulership in their heart. He has been using this trick from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:2-6). And people who are in quest of pleasure often sacrifices their long time blessing for a short time pleasure. 
 
    The word of God says, the devil came to Jesus to see if he can trick Him to possess Him like he did to Adam and Eve. That trick on Christ was actually met with failure. So, all his tricks on you and your family will fail in Jesus name.
 
   Friend, please understand the motive of the devil whenever he is suggesting pleasurable ideas without godly motive to you. The trick is to enlist you under his domain. For whoever lives in sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8). The pleasure offered by the devil is always temporary and for eternal regrets. Don't bow to him. Hold on to the word of God like Jesus did. No matter what you are going through, know that your God loves you. All are trials of your faith. As you stand strong in faith, the situation will bow out in Jesus name (1 John 5:4, Daniel 3:23-25). Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord strengthen me by faith to stand

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.
