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 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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
