MATURE CLASS

  MATURE CLASS I Corinthians 13:9-13 Devotional:- “When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things” (v.11) NLT I have observed that it is not everyone that can truly love. This is because it is a character for a person in a class. I have seen some men taking pride in beating their wives. I have heard many women proudly saying that they cannot stay under any man. And they do not feel ashamed that at their age, they couldn’t manage a home. The truth is that, if you cannot rise and manage a home, it is a sign that you cannot manage a greater thing that God would have loved to give to you (1 Timothy 3:5). When people give excuses of the reason why they cannot love, you will easily recognise their immaturity. Friend, you should feel ashamed if there is always noise of a fight coming from your apartment. And so many times, people, including the pagans, often come around to judge you and people, bashing and mocking...

THE NATURE OF CHILDREN

THE NATURE OF CHILDREN        

Read: Matthew 18:1-5
And said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.  (Vs. 3)

    When Jesus likened the kingdom of God to the life of a child, He did not intend that we should remain as children and not be matured. Rather, He wanted to teach us some of the characteristics of children which are similar to the lifestyle of the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 14:20). 
 
    Every child depends on his parents, and God wants us to depend on and trust in Him like children do (Psalm 125:1). Children always inform their parents about things and receive instruction on all they are to do. So because the Holy Spirit is in us, God wants us to consult Him always (Proverbs 3:5-6). A child easily forgives and God wants us to forgive like little children (Matthew 6:14). A child, when wrong is disciplined. He never thinks of changing his parents because of that.  In the same way, we should turn to God no matter the situation we find ourselves or whatever He asks us to do (Hebrews 12:4-6). 
 
    A faithful child always honors his parents. For this reason, God expects us to honor Him always (Malachi 1:6). All believers need to be meek, teachable and correctable. As a child, trust and believe in God for all His promises concerning your life, family, business, marriage, health, etc (Romans 10:11). Wait patiently on Him with understanding. He is a faithful God. He is a good father and He can never fail you. Be a faithful son or daughter to Him and this year, He will prove His faithfulness in your life.
 
Declaration: I am in good hands with Jesus.
 
“YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE AS A CHILD TO HAVE THE BEST OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”

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.
