GOOD SHEPHERD

  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

ACCESSING THE KINGDOM

ACCESSING THE KINGDOM      

Read: John 3:1-7
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Vs. 5)


 

    Towns and cities differ in nature, customs, tradition and practices. What is right in one country may be wrong in another. That is why we need to learn about the nature of the kingdom of God. This is vital so that we can freely operate in it as citizens.
 
    Jesus taught in the Scripture we read today that, what gives a man the right of citizenship to the kingdom of God is being born again. It is becoming a territory for God because all men became territories for the devil through Adam (1 Corinthians 15:22). This is because we were formerly born of flesh and blood of man. The spirit of the flesh which we inherited from our parents is full of deficiencies and troubles. Water as referred to by Jesus, means the word of God (Isaiah 55:10-11). The Spirit here means the Holy Spirit. This begins as we believe and confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior (Romans 10:10). You will keep getting stronger in the spirit as you keep hearing the word of God (John 6:63, Ezekiel 2:2). 
 
    As we read, hear and meditate on the word of God, our lives begin to look like that of Jesus (getting transformed - 2 Corinthians 3:18, John 15:3). So, the forces you run from in the past will now begin to flee from you because you now reflect the image of Jesus, the son of God. Don’t ever play with your time to study the word of God and you will start reflecting the glory of God. Peace!
 
Prayer: Jesus, come and live in my heart totally from today.
 
“YOU ARE EITHER A TERRITORY FOR GOD OR NOT”

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.
