HOPING IN GOD

  HOPING IN GOD Psalms 71:4-14  Devotional:- “For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth” (V.5) NKJV In today's world, many people are finding it difficult to put their hope in God. This is because they have waited for a few times, which to them is rather too long (Proverbs 13:12). And now they’ve made their calculation that if they have hoped in God for these three years and nothing is coming forth, then what is the need for continuing to hope? It is why many people in civilised nations have been living their lives unwilling to carry God along. We often forget that without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). Everything we can do or shall do should be by His permission. The most common error among Christians is that we often don’t understand the power of hope or the difference between hope and faith. Hope is consistently keeping in mind the promises God has made to us, because we know He can do what He has promised (Hebrews 10:23). This helps us grow in wis...

A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST

A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST     

Luke 6: 39-42
Devotional:-“A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher” (v.40) NKJV



Today, there are many people in the church that are not disciples of Jesus. The plan of God for the church is that we might make disciples of the people on the earth (Matt 28:19). The first task therefore is that, we should become disciples of Christ A disciple of Jesus is the one who have encounter Christ (Like 5:4-11). He has seen the power of God at work and not just what somebody said (1 John 1:1-3). 
    According to our scripture today, he is the one who want to be like Jesus. He/She is the one who have determined to live as Christ lived. A disciple of Jesus is the one who has made up his/her mind to follow Jesus. The motive behind his mind for following Jesus is to learn from Him and follow His examples. The reason our needs are not met most times, is because our motive for following Jesus is just to meet our personal needs. The moment our needs are met, our commitment to Christ is often negotiated (John 6:26-27). 

    Friend, Jesus is not coming for just anyone else but for only His disciples. You need to check your motive for been in the house of God. If it is not to be a follower of Christ, then your motive is wrong. If you make up your mind to be a disciple of Jesus, those needs will no longer be a trouble because Jesus always meet the needs of those who follow Him (Matthew 6:33). It is time you check yourself and put things right. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful follower of Jesus 

"WHEN YOU PUT THE RIGHT THING RIGHT, ALL SHALL BE RIGHT"

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 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.
