NOT AUTOMATIC

  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

THE BLESSING

THE BLESSING        

Gen 39:1-6
Devotional Verse:- “The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian” (Vs. 2)
NKJV

 


    Very many people often think that the blessing of the Lord is all about material things. This is one of the reasons many are not grateful and are not happy in life. Riches are just one of the manifestation of the blessings of the Lord (Prov. 10:22). The blessings of the Lord are the entirety of the goodness of the Lord and this is made manifest by the presence of the Lord with a man. 
    We saw in the scripture that Joseph was prosperous, though he was a slave in the house of his master in the land of Egypt. The Bible says people around Joseph noticed that the Lord was with him. They also observed that this was the secret of his blessing (Genesis 39:3). That is why you as a child of God should know that you are blessed because the God who owns all things is with you (Ephesians 1:3).
 
    All you need to do to activate this blessing is to humble yourself, fear the Lord, always ask for His leading in all you do and obey His instructions (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 25:9-14). Always obey the Lord as He instructs you in taking steps of faith in pursuit of your businesses (John 2:5). Be obedience to Him in giving and this will open for you the door of divine ideas (Isaiah 48:17). You will have divine protections on all your businesses and investments (Malachi 3:10-12). Remember, Jesus has taken away curses and poverty from your life and you are operating under the covenant of blessing (Galatians 3:13-14). Always claim your portion in His blessing. This will help you to be a partaker of the fullness of God’s blessings which will ensure your greatness on earth. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to build the right attitude for your blessings.

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.
