GROWING

  GROWING Ephesians 4:9-16 Devotional:- “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head of Christ” (V. 15) God’s plan and desire is that we grow up. So many Christian today are growing older but not growing up. Many are stocked in perpetual spiritual infancy. This is because they never intend to grow. Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort and persist in growing. Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ (Matthew 10:25). In your spiritual growth, God has a part and you have a part. To be Christ-like you will need to make Christ like choices and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill those choices. The moment you are ready, you will need to let go of some old routines and develop some new habits. You will need to intentionally change the way you are thinking (Philippians 2:12-13). To work out your salvation with fear and trembling means to take you...

HUNGRY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

HUNGRY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS           

Luke 1:48-55
Devotional Verse: -“He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty” (Vs. 53).

 

    It is the nature of the Lord to satisfy those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. When anyone is thirsty for God, he/she will certainly find Him. The Lord says that when we seek Him, we shall find Him (Deuteronomy 4:29). This attitude of being hungry for God always qualifies us for His blessings.
 
    In the Scripture we read today, Mary the mother of Jesus who was filled with the Holy Spirit spoke by the spirit. She testified by the Holy Spirit that God had filled her hunger with good things. For us to find the best of God in this kingdom, you and I have to be thirsty for God. To be thirsty for God is to long for His presence and be in His will.
 
    You live in righteousness by standing right with God. By doing the will of God with passion, Jesus said that there will be a filling (Matt. 5:6). As we seek the kingdom of God first and its righteousness, all other blessings which we desire shall be added to our lives (Matthew 6:33). We hunger for righteousness by acknowledging His will and obeying Him in everything (Prov. 3:5-6). When we do this, we will live a life of wonders on earth. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to be hungry for righteousness 
 
“IT IS WHAT YOU ARE THIRSTY FOR THAT WILL FILL YOUR LIFE”

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.
