HELP

  HELP Isaiah 41:10-20  Devotional:- “Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you," says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” (V. 14) NKJV Just because God loves us, He has promised to help us. Every man, at one time or another, will need help. This is because the strength of man is inadequate in most cases. Most of the time, our strength proves inadequate, even when we are close to success. You will observe that with all your determination, thinking you can do something, sometimes, you will only get to the middle, to discover that your strength has been exhausted. At such a point, people who don’t have God turn to the devil for help. The devil will always take advantage of such a time, pretending to have a solution but only trying to trap their lives. Friend, don’t turn to the evil way for help. He that creates you and loves you says, “He will help you.” Stop looking unto men (Psalms 121:1-2). Look unto Jesus today. Call upon Him now, and He wi...

RELIGIOUS PRIDE

RELIGIOUS PRIDE                 

Luke 18:9-14
Devotional Verse:- “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."  (Vs. 14)

    In the kingdom of God, there is no room for pride (James 4:6). This is because there is nothing we have that is not given to us by the Lord (John 3:27). Everything in God comes to us by grace (Ephesians 2:8). Pride is not an attitude of any mature believer. The Bible says that God resists the proud and gives more grace to the humble (James 4:6). Which means proud people will disconnect themselves from God.
     The Scripture tells us about the parable of two men who went to pray in the temple. The first man was proud of his religious titles and qualifications. He was proud of his righteousness before God. The second man was humble to confess his weaknesses and limitations. Jesus said that the second man who was humble, was justified by the Lord.
 
     Friend, be careful about going before God with your qualifications or your work for His kingdom. This may hinder your prayers. The blessings of this kingdom is reserved for the humble (Matthew 5:3-5). Promotion only comes to people in this kingdom when they are humble (Luke 14:11). Don't join people who are going down. There is nothing in this world that qualifies anyone to be proud (1 Peter 5:6). Humble yourself and you will soon be at the top. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride
 
“FROM THE DAY YOU START TO HUMBLE YOURSELF, GRACE FOR GROWTH WILL START TO FLOW IN YOU”

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.
