CREATED TO RULE

  CREATED TO RULE Genesis 1:26-31 Devotional:- “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”” (V. 28) NIV The major purpose of creating man was to rule over the earth. This is because the purpose of a product is in the assignment given to it to carry out. The reason why God wanted us to rule the earth was to make us represent Him here, to disallow the enemy from ruling the earth. So our rulership was a delegation. It is very clear in the scripture, God’s manual of man, that we are created to rule. That is, to take over, take control and have dominion over the earth. A producer is only successful when the product serves the purpose of production. When authority is delegated to a man, it often comes with a measure of power and liberty to operate it. This entails that man should not be hindered by anything to achieve ...

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

Mark 11:19-26
Devotional Verse:-"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses” (Vs. 25)

 


    It is wrong for any child of God to pray and not to receive answer. This is because God has covenanted to answer our prayers in His word. Though God is sovereign, He is a covenant keeping God (Exodus 34:6-7, Psalms 89:34). So, we must totally depend on His faithfulness. 
 
    In today’s Scripture, Jesus teaches us how to pray and receive answers to our prayers. This is a prayer of faith that does not doubt the faithfulness of God. We must learn to put our experiences aside and always believe God afresh in each time we pray.
 
    Jesus taught us to believe that when we pray, we should believe that our answers have come (Mark 11:24). He also taught us to forgive people who offends us if we want God to forgive us (Matthew 6:15). The reason is that, sin is always a major hindrance to prayers (Isa. 59:1-2). God loves us but He cannot put up with sin. So, if anyone offends you, forgive him so that your prayers will not be hindered. That is when you can come boldly to His throne of grace, making your requests known to Him (Heb. 4:16). As you forgive, you will be forgiven. Your prayers will no longer be hindered and the answers to them will no longer linger in Jesus name. 
Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a forgiving heart. 

“FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO BEING FORGIVEN”.

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.
