NEW THING

NEW  THING Isaiah 43:18-21  Devotional:- “For I'm going to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Don't you see it? I will make a road through the wilderness of the world for my people to go home, and create rivers for them in the desert!? (V.19) TLB      Sometimes we make the mistake of basing our faith not on the word of God but upon our experiences. Many of us do not know that faith will always be weak in us when we allow it to attend the school of experience. That is, we weigh it or compare it with what we’ve gone through in the past. Then it becomes doubt. I know you might have gone through all kinds of experiences in the past years. You have prayed, and nothing happened. You have waited only to see nothing. Yet you will need to believe God afresh for a new experience in this year.

PROCESS OF CHARACTER

PROCESS OF CHARACTER                                                     Romans 5:1-5
Devotional:-“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance” (Vs. 3) NKJV


    As a disciple of Jesus, it is important we know that the greatest focus of Christ is that we are like Him. That is why we must be ready to go through the process of developing our character to be like Jesus. Please, remember that those who are Christ-like are called Christian. 

In the scripture we read today, the word of God show us the process through which we develop Christlike characters. The word of God says, when we put our total hope in God, we are able to rejoice in the hope of His coming glory. In waiting in hope, we glory in tribulation. This hope in tribulation produces perseverance and perseverance produces character. It is this character that increases our faith to hope more in the Lord

It is in the practice of God to mature His children through a trouble time (Deuteronomy 8:1-2). Even Jesus went through hard time to be mature (Hebrews 5:8). So, always look for the lesson God wants you to learn in every situation and you will keep growing in the life style of Christ. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to grow in all situation

“SUFFERING MAKES US MATURE WHEN WE PUT OUR TOTAL HOPE IN HIM”

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.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.
