ACCEPT HIM

  ACCEPT HIM  John 1:1-12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:“ (V.12) NKJV It will be completely out of place for a woman to haven married to a man and later begin to say He is not acceptable to her. God does not encourage such excuse. Even though these do happen to some people but it is not the will of God. Many of such got married and ignorantly allowed their love to be blind, some moments after marriage the love will regain it full sight. That is why I tell people, it is foolish love that is blind. Open your two eyes very well. No matter how the nose, mouth, or leg of the sister or the brother now looks like, what God join together let no mouth or nose put asunder. The only solution is they should accept one another as they are, then resume into the responsibility of influencing and building each other (Proverbs 14:1). So also as children of God, we must accept or receive God just the way He is...

PRAYING WITH A VOW

PRAYING WITH A VOW  

1 SAMUEL 1:8-12
DEVOTIONAL “Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head” (Vs. 11).

   Praying with a vow is a catalyst to our prayers being answered. This is because, God has needs as much as we have needs. God is in need of men and women who will help Him to carry out His plan on earth (John 4:23). He needs people who will allow Him to use them to touch other people’s lives so as to perfect His will (Ezekiel 22:30).
   When Hannah prayed in her time, she could discover one of the needs of Israel and made a vow. No one trained his or her child to serve the Lord faithfully. At that time, people indoctrinated their children to take to other professions so that they can become rich, but Hannah made a vow to release her son to serve the Lord and she fulfilled it. There was no king or ruler in the land at that time, yet God answered her prayers.

   Friend, when you place a need before the Lord in prayers, try to know the needs of the house of God or of the servant of the Lord and strive to meet them. Be careful about making empty promises because God hates that. When you have it in heart (to meet such needs), heaven will approve your prayers so that the needs of God might be met through you. Learn to be as prompt as Hannah was in making and fulfilling her vow. As you do this, your prayers will be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be mindful of your needs

“WHEN YOU MEET THE NEEDS OF GOD, HE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS”.

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.
