  HAPPY CHILDREN Ephesians 6:1-4 Devotional:- “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” (V. 1) NKJV  Children are always very happy. Research said an average child laughs between 300 to 400 times in a day. They sometimes wonder why Daddy and Mummy don’t laugh as they do. That is the reason children also need the wisdom to sustain their Joy despite their age. Our scripture today teaches children who want to remain happy to be obedient to their parents. God organizes the home as a school of life for children and parents, and is the major teacher. As long as your parent teaches you in the way of the Lord, be obedient to them. Honour your parents always. To honour means to respect and yield to their guide. By so doing, you will make them glad, and you will also remain a joyful person all the days of your life.  Always remember that it is what you so that you will reap. Their words may not look like wisdom to you now, this is because of your level of maturit...

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.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

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.
