  MERCY Romans 9:14-27 Devotional:- “So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy” (V 16) NKJV It has often been completely impossible for any human to qualify for the things of God. This is the reason why the world looks like a place of struggle for so many people. Even many Old Testament saints couldn’t make it because of their inadequacies. For Example, if anyone had not achieved their goal on earth. I would least expect a man like Moses to be one. But because he could not fully obey the Lord, he and Aaron could not get to the Promised Land. But you and I in the New Testament have come to enjoy the abundance of the mercy of God. In the scripture we read today, Jesus said, He would have mercy on us. We are the one the bible refers to as the chosen generation. We are the people of His mercy. This is an assurance that we, by His grace, will achieve our purpose on earth, for His mercy shall see us through. The trouble in the life of our paren...

THE REVEALED LIGHT

THE REVEALED LIGHT                

Matt. 5:13-16
Devotional Verse:  "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house”  (Vs. 15)

    Light is a product of a generated energy. That is why it is not cheap to put on a light. For example, it will cost you buying a candle to have a candle light. That is why you will not put it on in hiding to just burn away. There is a purpose you intend it to serve and that is to illuminate the environment where you are in the time of darkness. It also costs God to giving us the Holy Spirit and teaching us His word for us to be called the light of the world.
 
    In this kingdom, God expects us to let our lives shine for the world to see (Matthew 5:16). This Light is our godly behaviour and attitude which portray the fruits of the Spirit of God in us (Gal. 5:22). God intends that His light in us will expose the darkness of this world, so that people can see the difference between following God and following the devil.
 
    That is why you must learn to always live the lifestyle of Christ. This light is reveal in us as we demonstrate the of love of God in this wicked world: joy in this sorrowful world, the hope of God’s word in this hopeless world, liberty of the Holy Spirit in this enslaving world, contentment in God’s provision in the anxious world and righteousness in this sinful world. As you do this, you will stand out in the world and the glory of God will be revealed in you. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, help me to stand out in the world for your glory
 
“DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT. IT MAKES YOU SPECIAL”

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.
