FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

THE UNJUST STEWARD

THE UNJUST STEWARD             

Luke 16:1-9
Devotional Verse:- “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.”  (Vs. 9)

    The parable in our Scripture for today teaches us so many lessons. It teaches us that we are stewards. A steward is a manager in charge of a business or an assignment. This teaches us that whatever we have comes from the Lord (Psalm 24:1, John 3:27). For this reason, we must use them consciously in the service of the master. 
 
    We also learn that we have to render our services to the Lord with the wisdom of God. In other words, we must be strategic, innovative and dynamic. The Holy Spirit is in us to help us. The servant in this parable of Jesus was wise in unfaithfulness towards his master, but we are called to be faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2).
 
    Jesus taught us to treat people well when it is well with us. This is because it is what we sow, that we will reap. When you have the privilege, use it to help as many people as you can especially in the family of God; the Church. The people you help today will be the ones to help you tomorrow. There is no man that cannot be in need at any time. But God will remember our seeds and help us. You have a secured future in Christ. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart to be a blessing

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.
