VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

DOUBT

DOUBT

JAMES 1:5-8 
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” (Vs. 6)



   To be doubtful is to be double-minded about God. To have a double mind is to believe God 50/50 and not totally. This is trying to plant something else in one's mind while pretending to trust in God. Doubt is a product of fear and it is the opposite of faith (2 Tim. 1:6). Without faith, no man will be able to receive from God (Hebrews 11:6). We are usually in fear because we do not know God and His word. It is our contact with the word of God that builds faith in us (Rom. 10:17).
    A doubtful Christian is a double-minded person. The Bible says that such people will receive nothing. That is why instead of doubting God as a child of God, you should build up your faith continually. You can do this by regularly studying the word of God, listening to messages of faith and reading books written by men of God to inspire faith in you.

    Every time you ask anything in faith, you commit God to answering your prayers (Mark 9:23) which He is always glad to do. Henceforth, your prayers will always be answered in Jesus' Name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to always ask and receive.

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.
