MAKING GOD HAPPY

  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

THE LOST SHEEP

THE LOST SHEEP                

Luke 15:1-7
Devotional Verse: -“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance”  (Vs. 7)


    What a great joy and excitement you derive when you find what is of great value to you! It is normal to feel great when what was wrongly taken from you is restored to you. So it is with God. Man is the most valuable creature He has, yet we don’t recognize this value. Something in us always wants to be far from home and we distance ourselves from God. Gap is always preferred in a relationship which you don't value. 
 
The truth is that, our distance from God will always reduce our value in life (John15:5). The prodigal son did this and regretted it (Luke15:11-20). That is why God is ready to pay any price to look out for sinners. He knows the danger they would face with the devil.
 
Friend, if you join Jesus in seeking the unsaved and to restore them to the fold, you will be one of His greatest friends. Jesus is not looking for a perfect saint to use, but seeks a child of God with a compassionate heart for lost souls. Resolve to be a soul winner and God will beautify your life greatly (Rom. 10:15). Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart of compassion for the lost souls
 
“A SOUL WINNER IS OF GREAT VALUE TO GOD”

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.
