  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 POOR IN SPIRIT

THE POOR IN SPIRIT              

MATTHEW 5:1-5
Devotional Verse -“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Vs. 3)

 


    The blessings of God are far bigger than material things. The blessings of the Lord have so many products and wealth is only one of them. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich (Prov. 10:22). The blessings of the Lord also produce health (III John 2), peace of mind, joy, increase, etc.  
    Jesus, through His teachings in today’s Scripture, outlines the factors of God’s blessings. One of them is being poor in spirit. To be poor in spirit means to be humble before God. It also means rating ourselves sincerely and not more than what you ought to (Proverbs 13:7). Being poor in the spirit means seeing the great need for God in all our ways (John 15:5). It is coming to the end of yourself and letting God know that you need Him. People who are poor in spirit will always see the manifestation of the forces of heaven in their lives.
 
    Friend, learn to humbly request for His help always. As you do so, you will enjoy divine backing for your unstoppable progress on earth. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to always be sincere before you in life 
 
“SINCERE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS FIND THE HELP OF GOD”

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.
