HIS COMMANDMENTS

  HIS COMMANDMENTS Malachi 2:1-9 Devotional:- “If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name," Says the LORD of hosts, "I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart.” (v.2) NKJV If anyone will live continuously in a glorious and joyful life in this world, he must learn to obey this command. It is the only way to bring you to the level of right thinking for the right result. Ingratitude is a product of an irresponsible mind that is always expecting God to do everything for it. This is simply a religious mind. It is a refusal to show appreciation for those things God is doing in one’s life. It is complaining about what is yet to be in place in one's life. Such a person takes offence at God. He is embittered with the people who are making it around. In today’s scripture, not being grateful always attracts curses. God pronounces curses upon some priest...

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

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
