LOOKING UNTO HIM

  LOOKING UNTO HIM Psalms 34:1-7 Devotional:- “They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed” (V. 5) NKJV To enjoy the love of God for us, we must learn to keep looking unto Him. The scripture says, they looked unto him and were not ashamed. No one trusts in Him who will be ashamed at the end. It is amazing that Joseph, whom they sold as a slave, eventually became a ruler. Because that is God’s plan for Him (Genesis 45:1-9). Amazingly, Abraham, who had no children for almost a hundred years, at last became the father of eight children before he died (Genesis 25:1-2, 9). These are proofs of God’s faithfulness. Because He also has a plan for each of us, He does not want us to be discouraged or frustrated, but rather to keep looking unto Him. This is because He has a plan for us, and it shall surely come to pass. That is why He said, "I know the plans that I have for you; they are not of evil, but good, to give you a hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). H...

CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM

CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM                     

Read: John 1:6-12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (Vs.12)
 
    Citizenship of the kingdom of God is by faith in the salvation and redemption Jesus brought. Please, remember that we are learning about a spiritual kingdom and not physical one. So, the materials for citizenship are not human but are by faith.
 
    God sent Jesus into the world for the purpose of bringing the sons and daughters of men into His kingdom. That is why it will be wrong to look at Christianity as a religion. It is the kingdom of God. The assignment of Jesus was carried out by Him shedding His precious blood so as to pay the price of our redemption from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous light. That is, taking us away from the devil’s kingdom and bringing us to God’s kingdom (Colossians 1:13-14). He had to pay with His blood which contain His life, because that is the currency in the spirit realm (Leviticus 17:11). He died the death sinners ought to die according to the law (Romans 6:23, 5:6-8).
 
    To become a citizen of God’s kingdom, you only need to accept and believe that He shed His blood for you. That conferred on you the right and power to become a child of God, not of the flesh but of the spirit. This then gives you access to all the goodness and blessings of God. As a child of God, the enemy has no legal right over your life. You are free from his kingdom because you have become a New Creature in Christ Jesus. It's a new day!
 
Prayer: Lord, let my believe in your death and the shed of your blood qualify me for God’s sonship.
 
“IF JESUS’ DEATH IS NOT FOR YOU, THEN YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR SINS”

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.
