FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

LIVING ABOVE FEAR

LIVING ABOVE FEAR                    

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional Verse:- “But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm”  (Vs. 26)

    It will be completely impossible to live in the kingdom of God with the spirit of fear (Hebrews 11:6). Fear will only make the power of God at work around you to be withdrawn. The kingdom of God and the spirit of fear cannot work together (II Timothy 1:7). Today a lot of people in church are living with the spirit of fear. That is why we need to learn how to live above fear. 
    It is important for you to know that, fear is a product of the wrong and negative information you have been listening to. Remember, fear is the opposite of faith. Just like faith comes by hearing the word of God, fear comes by hearing the negative word of the devil (Romans 10:17). Faith comes from the word of truth but fear comes from half truth (John 8:44).
 
    To live above fear, we must determine who we want to listen to, the word of God, and other words (Mark 4:24). The other words come from the devil through his suggestions into our minds as we meditate on our challenges or listen to people without the knowledge of God (Psalms 1:1-3). Jesus told the disciples that fear is a product of little faith. Always study and meditate on the word of God and not on your situation. Counter every negative information against your faith with the word of God (Luke 4:4-8). Keep speaking the word of God by faith and you will be able to live above the spirit of fear. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over fear always
 
“IF YOU DON’T BUILD UP IN FAITH, FEAR WILL BE A CONDITION”

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.
