VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

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.
