VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

THE DANGER OF THE KINGDOM

THE DANGER OF THE KINGDOM  

Read: Luke 9:57-62
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Vs. 62)


    There are some “don’ts” in the kingdom of God. Being unmindful of these “don'ts” put you in danger as a citizen. This is because this kingdom has a terrible and wicked enemy (1 Peter 5:8). You must be careful to know these “don’ts” because it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the devil.
 
    One of those terrible things is that, having tasted the power and the mysteries of the power of God, don’t ever turn back. You must make up your mind to be total with God. That is why I pity Christians who still want to wine and dine with the world.
 
    Some people do not know that they are looking back when they allow depression, sorrow, disobedience to the laws of God or living in unrighteousness, among others. As a Christian, if you stop paying your tithes, you know what you will face. Be careful about living in fear (2 Timothy 1:7). You must keep building up your faith in God (Luke 22:31-32). Remember the wife of Lot who looked back (Gen. 19:15-26). Don’t ever look back. God will surely sustain you to the end (Isaiah 41:10). The hand and grace of God will not let you fall in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, sustain me to the end.

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.
