  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

INIQUITY

PSALMS 66:10-20
DEVOTIONAL VERSE: “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear”. (Vs. 18)



    In the kingdom of God, all promises are kept. This is because God is a faithful God (Hebrews 10:23). He has the capacity to fulfill and carry out His promises. So, whenever our prayers are not answered, we can then be sure that it is not God’s fault but ours. The lapses always come from us.
    In the Scripture for today, the Psalmist said that, if he allowed iniquity in his heart, the Lord would not hear him. It is iniquity in the heart that blocks our access to God. In Isaiah 59:1-2, we are told that the hand of the Lord is not short that it cannot deliver us but iniquity has denied us access. Iniquity in the original meaning is a heart with condemnation. It’s a heart with the guilt of sin. God’s word tells us that the righteous is as bold as lion (Prov. 28:1). Jesus shed His blood so that through it, our hearts can be purged and cleansed (Hebrews 9:22). Please, accept by faith the work of the Blood of Jesus over your heart. 

Friend, it is important that you ask God for mercy and accept His mercy. He is a merciful God (Rom. 8:1) Purge your heart and make it free to receive from God and He will always answer your prayers. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, let the blood of Jesus clean my heart totally

“THE GRACE OF GOD HAS GIVEN US MERCY BEFORE 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.
