  HIS PRESENCE Isaiah 43:1-7 Devotional:- “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. (v.2) NKJV I have observed that every one becomes more confident when they find strong companies around them. That is why we feel more relaxed when the house is full of people. So when you have people around you, you tend to feel secured. Good company tends to also give us a sense of success and security. If you have to do something alone you could have a little doubt but when you are two, you will always be happy to carry out the assignment together and enjoy doing it. Good company will ease your service tension. God’s word says two are better than one for they will have a better reward for their labour (Ecclesiastes 4:9). If you have to trek a distance alone you may not have enjoyed it as having someone to share together as you go. You will not ...

YOU ARE THE BRANCHES

YOU ARE THE BRANCHES                

John 15:1-8
Devotional Verse:- "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing" (Vs. 5)

    As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are so special in the hand of our God that we are given special roles to play. The role of glory that Christ has given us is not common in the generations of men. We are given this special place because Christ loves us and made Himself a sacrifice for our redemption (Revelation 5:9).
 
    Jesus says, He is the vine and we are the branches. This is a rare position only for the citizens of the kingdom of God. Jesus went ahead to say that His father is the vine dresser while He is the vine. Just picture it in your mind that God is a gardener, Jesus is the plant while you and I are the branches. Do you know that it is the joy of the gardener to see the flower and the fruits of the plants? What a great honour it is that we are to carry the beauty and the fruits of the Spirit of God! 
 
    We must therefore do everything to bear fruits in response to such love from Jesus. These fruits are the fruits of repentance unto righteousness which are the fruits of turning to obey God (Matthew 3:8). They are the fruits of the Spirit of God (Galatians 5:22) and the fruits of soul winning. Make up your mind to do the will of the father in soul winning and giving. Work on yourself in the word of God to bear the fruits of the Spirit so that you will not be cast out (John 15:2). It's a new day!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be focused and fruitful to keep my place in you.
 
“THE BEAUTY OF EVERY TREE IS ITS FRUITS”

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.
