  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 ...

PRAYER FOR SHOW

PRAYER FOR SHOW

Matthew 6:5-13
Devotional Verse:-"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward” (Vs. 5)
 

    Hypocritical people do many things for show off. People of the world today feel that you look odd when you are not showing off. So, what is right is becoming wrong and wrong is becoming right. But I want you to know that God is faithful to all who are faithful to Him.
 
    In today’s Scripture, Jesus tells us that we should not pray to prove that we are specially gifted in prayers. In doing this people will not receive any answer from God.  Standing in public places to show that one is good in prayers is absolutely wrong. Don’t do such to demonstrate the ability or the grace of God in your life. Jesus taught us that, if we are to pray, we should go to the secret of our rooms, pouring out our hearts to God. Don’t forget that prayer is relating with God and we must do it with all humility. 
 
    You really don’t need any formula for prayer as it is in some churches today. All you need to do is to simply open up your heart to God. Ask Him anything in faith and believe that He will answer you. Surely, He will be faithful to answer your prayers. Peace! 
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to understand the process of asking and receiving in prayers.

“SHOW OFF PRAYERS IS VAIN PRAYERS”.

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.
