  YOUR VICTORY IS WAITING John 16:25-33  Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (v. 33) NKJV It is of great importance that we recognize that there are two forces ruling the earth. They are the forces of God, and devil; light, and darkness, or good, and evil, You can refer to them in any of these ways. These two forces are consistently against each other. That is why darkness and light don’t co-exist. The moment there is light, darkness cannot stand there. But you will observe that one is stronger than the other. For example, if you are in a room and it is dark, if you put on the light darkness gives way. But it is impossible for darkness to come and off the light, or take over from light or chase light away. God is light and the enemy is darkness. “The light shines through the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it” (John 1:5) TLB. This ...

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

Luke1619-31
DevotionalVerse:- 'Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham,have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame'."  (Vs. 24)



   It is important we understand that there is a demarcation between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of this world which is of the devil. The Blessing of the Kingdom of God comes from God when one obeys Him (Deut. 28:1). But the blessings of the worldly kingdom come with deceiving and cheating one another. 

   The rich man whom Jesus was referring to in our text did not know the important of serving God with his wealth. Acquiring his wealth had cost him painful practices in all manner of gimmicks, so it was difficult for him to share with others. That was why he was not able to take care of the poor and he ended up in hell. Though Lazarus who was a citizen of the Kingdom of God was not knowledgeable enough to know how to make it in the things of this world, he ended up in heaven where Father Abraham is. The truth is that, you should not lack as a child of God but you should be rich toward God’s Kingdom (Luke 12:15-21).

     Friend whatever God gives you a privilege to access or attain, use it for His glory. That is when you can be sure that eternal reward is awaiting you in heaven. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to use all I have for your glory.

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.
