  RIGHT VIEW Matthew 25:14-30 Devotional:- “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V.15)  Please note that there is a way that you view life. The truth is that your view of life goes a long way to determine how you invest your time, money talents and value your relationships. People see life from different perspectives. Some sees life as up and down. Some see life as a game so they always play as it comes; some sees life as a place of party, so regular party becomes their priority. Those who see life as battle will have winning as their priority.  People expresses their view and value of life through their kind of cloths, jewelry, cars, hairstyle, tattoos or car stickers but how do God wants us to view life. From our scripture today Jesus gave a parable of how the kingdom of God is and how we should view life. He likened the kingdom of God to a man who is embarking o...

BEARING FRUITS

BEARING FRUITS           

Read: John 15:1-8
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Vs.5)


    There are many parables through which Jesus illustrates what the kingdom of God is. These parables have to do with sowing of seeds (Mark 4:27, Luke 8:5). From these, we are already informed that there would be fruits.
Jesus says “I have sent you to bear fruits” (John 15:16). He said that anyone who does not bear fruits shall be cut away (John 15:2). Whoever does not bear fruits shall lose the kingdom of God (Mark 21:43). That is why you and I must be fruit-bearing Christians.
 
    The fruits of this kingdom are fruits of repentance unto God (Matthew 3:8). They are fruits of righteousness (Matthew 7:20). The fruits are fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5: 22-23) which are all fruits of godliness and wisdom of God. They also involve fruits of restful service in the house of God and fruits of soul winning (Matthew 24:45-46).
 
    To bear these fruits, we must abide in Christ by always being conscious of His presence with us and doing His will (John 15:5). We will be able to bear fruits by acknowledging Him for divine direction and obedience (Prov. 3:5-6). We will be able to bear these fruits when we always deny ourselves to minister the gospel to others and bring them to Christ. A fruit-bearing Christian will always bring glory to God. He will always enjoy grace for more in his lifetime. Also, he will have his prayers answered. Receive grace to bear fruits in Jesus’ name.
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a fruitful Christian.

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.
