SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

KINGDOM FRUITS

KINGDOM FRUITS           

Luke 6:43-45
Devotional Verse:- “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”  (Vs. 45)

    In the kingdom of God, our understanding should be on the fact that our hearts produce the fruits we bear in life. So many people find all manner of limitation in their lives. The usual thing is that,  man always wants to look for someone or something to put the  blame on. The most blamed person is the devil and this has been the story from the beginning (Genesis 3:12-13). The truth is that, excuses do not change anything.
 
    Jesus taught us in our Scripture for today that the fruits we bear in life are directly connected to the quality of our hearts. Don't ever blame anyone for your situation. Blame game makes us irresponsible. If you observe that the fruits you bear are not what you would like to bear, work on your heart. So, you can change your heart to change your life. 
 
    To bring a change to your heart, you will need to acquire new information about life. If you find yourself low in life, look for better higher information. If you are sick, look for information on health. If you are financially backward, look for information on finance. If your marriage is not sweet, all you need is to build your heart on one. This will change your thinking, beliefs, habits and attitudes. Jesus said that the fruits of your life are from your heart. What a day! Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, you have given me the key of change. Help me to use it.
 
“IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY YOUR LIFE IS GOING, CHANGE IT”

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.
