  LISTEN TO HIM John 10:1-10  Devotional:- “And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice” (V.4) NKJV If we are going to enjoy the love of God, then we must learn to listen to Him and follow Him. Shepherds are often very caring. They always take good care of the sheep. They help them locate where green grass is And take the sheep there. They even sit down with the sheep till they fill their belly with green pasture. They take them to where there is good water and sometimes get the water for them to drink so as to be satisfied. This is because every shepherd is fulfilled by looking at his sheep, who are healthy and well-fed. Jesus is the shepherd of our souls (John 10:11). He wants to lead us to the best in life, but we must listen to and follow Him (Psalm 23:1). You need to recognise His voice. The scripture we read today said, “…his sheep know His voice.” The voice of the Lord is His word. Whatever He is going to ...

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.
