  DELIVERANCE Psalms 91:9-16 Devotional:- “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him” (V. 15) NKJV There are too many people today who have been caught in the web of darkness and do not know how to get out. Many get embarrassed when they discover in a public place that they carry demonic influences and needed to be delivered. Some do not even know how they find themselves in it, neither do they know how to get out. Some have repeatedly attended deliverance ministrations but they know in themselves that they are not yet delivered. They’ve been to everywhere done several things and the same experience still persists.  Part of the redemption package of love that Jesus have for us is deliverance (John 8:32, 36, 1 John 3:8). The first thing needed to set you free is your willingness to be free. Until you chose to be free no one can force freedom on you permanently. Then be determined in your heart to be free. Decla...

SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION             

Matthew 3:13-17
Devotional Verse:-“But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him” (Vs. 15)

 


    One major lifestyle of citizens of the kingdom of God is submission. Though, it is not the best way to live, but it is the only way to live as children of God. This is because when people don’t submit to God, they will submit to the devil. So, consciously or unconsciously, every man is submitting to something. We can only be truly called the children of God if we submit to God and our leaders in God (James 4:7-8).  
 
    In our Scripture for today, we see that John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus baptized Him. A forerunner is a servant who goes before the master. Jesus knew that John was His forerunner, yet, He submitted Himself to be baptized by him. Why did He do this? It is to fulfill all righteousness.
 
    It is the lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizens to submit themselves to God and the people He has placed over them (1 Peter 2:13, 1 Peter 5:5). To submit is to be humble enough to listen to and obey the leader who speaks to us according to the will of God. If we are submissive, we will not be disobedient to God and His servants (Ephesians 5:12). Don’t be rebellious, but rather, choose to be submissive to the ordinances of God. As you do this, your lifting will soon be evident (1 Peter 5:6). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a submissive spirit.
 
“HE THAT IS NOT SUBMITING TO GOD IS SUBMITTING TO THE DEVIL”

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.
