JOY IN THE CITY

    JOY IN THE CITY Acts 8:1-8 Devotional:- “And there was great joy in that city” (v.8) NKJV Another powerful producer of joy is Christ in your life (Colossians 1:27). Christ can change our sorrow into joy. He came to set us free from the power that caged us in sorrow. He came to give us the key to joy. Many have not come to know that having Christ in their life is not just about going to church. The truth you need to hear is that when you give room to Christ in your life, you have given room to joy (Luke 2:10). The scripture we read today is the report of what happened to the city of Samaria. They accommodated Jesus Christ in their life, and God’s word reported that there was great joy in that city. The confusion is that there are many in church today without Christ; they have confessed Jesus Christ as their Saviour, but they don’t have room for him in their heart. They are workers and leaders, but have no room for Christ. When Christ has room in your life, He will change yo...

PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP

PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP

LUKE 11: 1-4 
DEVOTIONAL: “So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven” (Vs. 2).

    If any child of God will enjoy answers to his or her prayers, he/she must first understand that prayer is a relationship with God. As we all want to ask God for our needs, He also wants to answer us but, we must understand His need and meet it for Him to meet our needs. God wants a relationship with you (John 4:23). Prayer is first relationship, before it becomes an opportunity to share.
    In our Scripture for today, Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. He was able to teach them after building a relationship with them. He taught that we should first call God our father. The Father and son relationship is not ordinary because sons are treated specially by their fathers.

    Friend, don’t be like people who just want to collect blessings from God and go away. God needs you to be committed with Him in a relationship. Don’t be a stranger to God or His house, but first join His family. Having done that, be sure that your heart is given totally to God. Take time out to relate with Him daily by studying His word, worshipping Him and asking for your needs in prayers. That way, you will no longer be a stranger to Him. You will be used to His words and His voice (John 10: 4, 14). It is then you will ask anything from Him and receive. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to give you room in my life as my Father.

“EVERY GOOD FATHER IS ALWAYS READY TO GIVE HIS SON ANYTHING HE DESIRES”.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
