STAND IN

  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

FAITHFULNESS

FAITHFULNESS   

1 Corinthians 4:1-5
Devotional:-“Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful”
 (Vs. 2) NKJV


    It is required of every disciple to be faithful. One of the most difficult attitudes for most people today is faithfulness. This is because of the temptation of greed and selfishness. When people have waited long for a prayer to be answered, it is possible to already be desperate and when this is not effectively managed it can result to unfaithfulness.

In the scripture we read today, the scripture thought us of the importance of faithfulness in stewardship. As disciples of Jesus, much is committed into our hands to be a light and a guide for other to come to the knowledge of Christ. That is why it is compulsory to be faithful. To be faithful is to be trust worthy, reliable and constant. Our situation and strong desires for solution should turn us to God and not to unfaithfulness.

If we will keep following the Lord, then we must be loyal and steadfast. The master will hand over to us grace, revelations, instructions and gifts of the spirit. We must always be faithful before God and man. Unfaithfulness could make a man lose his entire reward in life and eternity. It makes king Saul to lose his throne (1 Samuel 15:26). It makes Gahazi to lose his opportuned position (2 kings 5:26-27). It makes Judas to lose eternity with God (Luke 22:21-22). Be faithful, so that God can promote you (Luke 16:10-12). You will not lose your place in Jesus name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be a faithful disciple of Christ

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.
