  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

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.
