PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD

 FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD

LUKE 5: 12-16
DEVOTIONAL: “So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed” (Vs. 16).

    Every citizen of the kingdom of God knows that prayer is not only to ask, but to fellowship with God. Fellowshipping with God means hanging around or staying with Him to rub minds with Him. It also means, to have feelings of relationship or connection with God. Abraham use to have fellowship with God. That was why he was called God’s friend (Isa. 41:8). If you want to enjoy quality fellowship with God where minds and thoughts will be freely shared, then you must not be need-oriented. Rather, you must be love and fellowship-oriented. 
    In today’s Scripture, the Bible says that Jesus often withdrew to a quiet place to pray because He always wanted to stay around God. When you fellowship with God, you should do it in worship and thanks giving. This is what He wants (John 4:23). If you regularly hang out with Him, you will look like Him and act like Him in the long run (Exodus 34:29, Prov. 13:20). 
    Sometimes, I feel very sorry for Christians who come to church once in a while, because they cannot have the best of God. The best always comes out of deep and regular fellowship with Him. Create time to regularly fellowship with God in prayers and watch your problems get resolved naturally. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to enjoy having a time out with you daily.

“WATCH YOUR RESULT AND WATCH THE PERSON YOU HANG OUT WITH. IT’S THE SAME”

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.
