  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

AREAS OF A DISCIPLESHIP

AREAS OF A DISCIPLESHIP   

2 Peter 3:14-18
Devotional:-“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” (v.18) NKJV


   As citizens of the kingdom of God, there are areas of life that we need to grow to be true disciples of Jesus. These areas encompass different dimension of our spiritual need for a balanced Christian life. Though, we should grow in Christ in every area of our lives, but let us group these areas to about five, for easy growth structure. 
  The first area a disciple of Christ should focus on to grow like Jesus is in our character. This has to do with our behavioral habits which characterized us before God and man. The second area is the area of our capacity. This has to do with the development of our ability to use our gift and talent to help and advance the kingdom of God, yet in a godly way (1 Cor. 12:7). The third is our understanding (Ephesians 1:17-18). Our understanding of the ways of God determines how much we can get done in God. Fourth is our relationship with God and people. And fifth is our faith in God. 

Every time we are studying the word of God, these are areas we should seek to learn and know more in God. And we shall be growing up in the Lord as true followers of Christ. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to grow in all things in Christ

“GROWTH IS ONLY A GOOD GROWTH WHEN IT IS BALANCED.

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.
