MOUNTAIN TOP Isaiah 2:1-5 Devotional:- “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it” (V. 2) NKJV It is already part of the agenda of God to lift you up in life at the right time (I Peter 5:6). And I know that this is the time. It is only when the time has not come that the enemy can be strong. But when it is time, all forces shall give up. Whatever strength your enemy has been using against you shall no more prevail. It is your turn to rise to the top.

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"
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.
ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
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.
