  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

THE UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM

THE UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM       

Read: Mark 4:30-32
But when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” (Vs. 32)

    There is no power or force that can stop God. So, His kingdom operations are unstoppable. If anyone tries to stop the kingdom of God, such will have to stop living (Luke 20:18). That is why as a citizen of the kingdom of God, you are unstoppable.
 
    Jesus likened the kingdom of God to a small seed called the mustard seed. Though the smallest of all seeds, when it is sown, it soon become a great tree that all birds want to take solace in. The seed of God is His word and His spirit (Mark 4:14). I call it the Spirit of the word (John 6:63, Ezekiel 2:2). Wherever the word of God is, there will be possibility and greatness. Jesus also gave a parable of the sower and great were the fruits (Luke 8:4-8).
 
    Friend, the seed of God to greatness is His word. When the Spirit of the word comes upon you, anything you embark on will prosper. This seed makes you operate at the realm of God. It also makes you bigger than all barriers (John 10:34-35). This is a rhema from God. The Spirit of the word comes upon you as you wait on God in meditation on the word and in prayers. (Isaiah 40:31). When a seed is of God, it will surely germinate, succeed and soon become great (I John 5:4; Matthew 16:18-19). Keep speaking the word into your situations because it is unstoppable. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me enjoy your unstoppable grace.
 
“WHEN THE WORD IS ALWAYS IN YOUR MOUTH, THE RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT”
