  SPECIAL CHILDREN Proverbs 23:15-25  Devotional:- “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day” (V.17) NKJV Today, the lives of children in most nations are becoming a great trouble. Many parents have lost control of their children. But in the midst of these hopeless situations of the future generation, yet some children allow the word of God to rule their lives, such children have the fear of God in them. These are children who keep a wise heart and who have learnt the right use of their lips. Who don’t open their lip to speak just anything but the truth and wisdom (Proverbs 23:16). These are children who don’t envy the way of sin, nor do they get themselves involved in the sinful nature of this generation. Rather, they fear the Lord, and this affects everything they do (Proverbs 23:17). Most of the youths of this day go into untimely relationships and cheating everywhere because of fear of failure and fear of tomorrow. But these p...

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.
