FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

PURE IN HEART

PURE IN HEART             

Titus 1:10-16
Devotional Verse:-“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled” (Vs. 15).
 
    It is important for you to know that the heart of the problem of a man is the problem of the heart. One of the ways to enjoy the kingdom of God is by having a heart that is free. That is why the word of God instructs us to guide our hearts diligently because the issues of life flow out of them (Prov. 4:23). Until a heart is pure and free, such life will be corrupt or defiled.  
    The word of God says “Blessed are the pure in heart…” (Matt. 5:8). Been pure in heart means having a heart that is put right with God and free of fear of condemnation (Romans 8:1). It is putting your heart right with God which demands that you love to do His will in all things. This is by always standing where God stands in all situations. These are the people who will always see God in all their situations. Such will easily access God (Psalm 24:4).
 
    Friend, don’t join others to live in condemnation (Romans 8:1). To some people, it is spirituality to live in condemnation but the Bible says, the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). Don’t be a part of those who see the devil in everything. Don’t rate the devil as though he is stronger than God. Jesus is the Almighty and He has defeated the devil on the cross (Colossians 2:14-15). Now all power belongs to Jesus. Hold on to the word of God by faith. You will always be victorious in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a pure and free heart.
 
“THE STATE OF YOUR LIFE CANNOT BE BETTER THAN THE STATE OF YOUR HEART”.

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.
