A HEALER

  A HEALER Isaiah 53:1-10  Devotional:- “...the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His strips we healed.” (V. 5) It is of great importance to know that the love of God for us brought our healing. When people are sick, it takes careful, loving treatment to bring them to their healing. Sickness itself is a product of sin and a by-product of condemnation and frustration. When Jesus came here on earth, one of the things He dealt with on behalf of man was sickness. Before Adam and Eve sinned, there was no record that they were sick like the same with other patriarchs. This is because these people walked in the righteousness of God. They walked in uprightness of mind with God. So the devil can't afflict them with any form of sickness. When Adam and Eve sinned, the land was cursed for their sake (Genesis 3:17-18). The fruitful plant was removed for the thorns and thistles. Medical research proved that most sicknesses come to the human body through what we eat. Sin, there...

THE KING’S PARTY

THE KING’S PARTY        

Read: Luke 14:15-24
But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ (Vs. 18)

    Citizens of the kingdom of God are faithful and loyal followers of Christ. We know that our lives belong to Him and we are not of ourself. Obedience to God is paramount, above money, business and even our lives. When He instructs us, nothing in this world should be considered as being more important (Matthew 7:24). This is because He has the best plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11). His understanding is far more than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
 
    Jesus gave a parable of how a king made ready a party, but the invited guests began to make excuses. They allowed material things (the things of this world) to hinder them from enjoying eternity with God.
 
    Please, understand that God’s instruction is for your best (Isaiah 1:19 NIV). Stop seeing God as a religious-being who you only go to when you are in need of Him. God made you for Himself (Isaiah 43:21). You need Him to find success and fulfillment in this world (John 15:5). Learn to always submit to His instructions and you will be above the powers of the enemy (James 4:7). You will also be lifted (James 4:10). Walking in wisdom will be very easy for you (Matthew 7:24). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always obey you

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.
