PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY

  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

WICKED STEWARDS

 WICKED STEWARDS           

Luke 20:9-19
Devotional Verse:-“He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it they said, "Certainly not!”  (Vs.16)

    The greatest evil anyone can do to him/herself is to reject the gospel of Jesus. There will be no hope in eternity for anyone who rejects so great a salvation that Jesus came to sacrifice His life for (Hebrews 2:3). 
 
    Today, a great number of people see the gospel as deception. So, they presume that people preaching the gospel are people without wisdom. Some of them even plan and kill people doing 'morning cry' (early morning evangelism). This is because they look at them as people without common sense. These are all devices of the devil against the gospel.
 
    Friend, the nature of the kingdom of the devil is to deceive the children of this world and turn them against the gospel of Jesus who came to save them (2 Corinthians 4:4) . All that you have is given to you by the Lord. You are merely a steward assigned to take care of things until the owner comes. Don’t mislead your children by living in an ungodly way. You are simply a manager for God (1 Corinthians 4:2). Show your family an example of godliness. Don’t sleep at home or travel on Sunday mornings while worship services go on in the church. Doing so, make people raise a family for the kingdom of the devil. When the owner (Jesus your master) comes, what will be your report? Refuse to be a worker of iniquity and you will not regret your eternity. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful steward.
 
“EVERY STEWARD WILL SURELY GIVE ACCOUNT”

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.
