  WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN Mark 16:14-20 Devotional:- “And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (V. 15) There are two types of Christians in the world: The world class Christians and the worldly Christian. You are either in one of these groups. The worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal needs. They are saved but self-centered. Their prayer focuses on me first and focuses on their needs, blessings and happiness or comfort. They want to use God for their purpose instead of been used for Gods purposes. “Jesus sent us to reach the world, be part”.  In contrast, world class Christians are people who are saved and know that they are here to serve the purpose of God. Find them anywhere in the world they will be serving God’s purpose. They are eager to receive personal assignment and excited about the privilege of been used by God. Everything they do in life is towards fulfilling the purpose of God and not just for worldly pleasu...

RENEWING YOUR STRENGTH

RENEWING YOUR STRENGTH           

Isaiah 40:27-31
Devotional Verse: -“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”  (Vs. 31)

    As a child of God, please understand that your strength for all you may want to do is in God (Job 32:8, John 15:5). Sometimes, you discover that you are getting weak and discouraged. In most cases, the weakness of life often starts from one's spiritual weakness. You may discover that you can no longer pray as you used to. You may also find out that, as you read your Bible and other books, the contents just seem like they are written in Greek language that you cannot understand. At such times, you need to renew your strength. 
 
    Having understood that your strength is in God, you must always return to Him (Hosea 6:1-3). The reason for the dryness is your distance from the God of strength. Though we regularly go to church, we allow anxiety and worry to drain our strength in God. That is why the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). To wait on the Lord is to seek to receive a word from Him (Ezekiel 2:2). It is His word that transmits the strength of the Spirit to us (John 6:63). 
 
    To wait on the Lord, you need to retreat and have a personal time with God (Proverbs 18:1). At such times, pick up your Bible and other books of faith to study and meditate on the word of God. Also separate yourself to pray, then your strength will be rekindled and renewed. Then the grace of God will be multiplied in  your spirit for greater achievements for His kingdom. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, let there be a rekindling of your strength in me
 
“WHEN YOUR STRENGTH IS RENEWED, YOU ARE FIRED UP FOR GREATNESS”

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.
