  APPRECIATE HIM Psalms 136:1-9  Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (V.1) NKJV Most people have not started to enjoy God to the maximum. because they have not fully imbibed the wisdom of appreciation. No relationship will be able to survive for a long time if the spirit of appreciation is not imbibed. Can you imagine that you plan to buy something for someone you love, though you do not have the means but embarked on saving towards it. At last you successfully get the gift, rapped it beautifully with a rapper and present it to your friend. All that your friend did was to receive it and just say, “That is good,” in a frowning way. And he started talking about something else to make you forget about the gift. You will feel disappointed and almost regret your effort. This and others are what most men do to God. We do not know that it is costing God so much to keep us alive. Can you imagine the challenges mummy went through b...

HIGHER RIGHTEOUSNESS

HIGHER RIGHTEOUSNESS           

Matthew 5:17-19
Devotional Verse:-“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Vs. 19)

   

    To morally religious-minded people, righteousness is standing right in the view of others who can give good comments about them. They like to be men pleasers. Many people like good comments and recommendations from people, even though they know that most human praise is always not totally true but always exaggerated.     Jesus said that our lifestyles as citizens of the kingdom of God should be beyond human righteousness for us to be partakers of the kingdom of heaven. He also said that He has come to fulfill the Scripture and not to please people. So, obedience to God should be our primary lifestyle as kingdom citizens (Matt. 7:21).
 
    Every part of the Scripture is to be obeyed in the light of this because whatever is commanded in the Old Testament and established in the New Testament is binding on us. The ones we are not expected to obey are the ones in the Old Testament which are not established in the New Testament since we are no more under the law but under grace. Friend, our righteousness should be true to the heart as we do the will of God from the heart. The Holy Spirit is always present to help us. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be obedient to all your instructions.
 
“HE WHO WALKS IN OBEDIENCE IS WALKING IN WISDOM”.

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.
