CHOICE OF JOY Acts 16:20-30 Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” (V.25) NKJV So many people in this world have not woken up to the fact that the way they live is their choice. One of the greatest errors is to think that the situation a man finds himself, is the determining factor of his life. This is not true. Please come to an awareness of this truth from now on: that you are living as you have chosen to live. Get to know that you are a creature of choice. Whatever your choice is, that is your lot. God chooses no evil for anyone in life (Jeremiah 29:11). Whether you are happy or not, whether you are rich or not, whether you are healthy or not, it is your choice; if you decide otherwise from now and stand by your decision, things will change for you. Paul and Silas were in prison because of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they had the right understanding that their circumstances should not determi...

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”

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.
