THE CHILD JESUS

  THE CHILD JESUS Luke 2:41-52 Devotional:- “And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them” (V. 51) KJV. Contrary to the right principle of life, the young people of this generation have started embarking on what may not profit their future. God’s Word say honour your father and your mother that it might be well with you and that your days may be long (Ephesians 6: 1-3). But very many young people of this generation have began to take to a life of dishonoring their parents and other elderly ones in the society. They think talking abusively and beating elderly ones is a way to shine in life. But little do they know that they put curses upon themselves. This is a fulfillment of the scripture (1 Timothy 3:1-2). Friend, one of the lessons of this season is that we should honour our parents and elders among us. Jesus was in Jerusalem with His parents. But when they were living they never knew that he was not coming along. So they had to return back in searc...

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
