  YOU ARE A MISSIONARY John 17:6-19 Devotional:- “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (V. 18 NLT) God is working all over the world and He has made you to be part of His work. It is the assignment of God for all Christians that is called Mission (2 Corinthians 5:20) Fulfilling your mission on earth is the fifth purpose of your life. Mission means been sent and every Christians is sent by the Lord (John 20:21). When we are saved, we become members of God’s family and the mission of Jesus becomes our mission.  Your mission is important and it is a continuation of the mission of Jesus. So to ignore it will be a sin (Matthew 28:19-20). It is important because it's a wonderful privilege (2 Corinthians 5:18). It is important because telling others about eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them. That is why it's more important than any other job, achievements of goals you will ever reach in your lifetime. This is because you are connecti...

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP  

Mark 8: 34-38
Devotional:-“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV


  Just like any other process of production, to become a disciple of Jesus also demands that we are taking through a process. It is in the course of going through the process that we begin to look like Jesus. Everyone that come to Jesus are like raw materials, but we must not remain raw in our relationship with Christ. Some people have been in the Church for decades, yet they are the same as they came. 

  The process of discipleship begins from we making a firm decision to become a true disciple of Jesus. It has to be firm because the devil through the flesh will contend with our decision. No one will truly be committed to Christ if they had not encounter Him personally like Peter (Luke 5:4-8). We must therefore seek to encounter Him by relating with Him. We must then covenant our life to walk with Jesus in total and not partial relationship. 

    This then enrolled us into the desire to learn of who Jesus is to us, what Christ does for us, what we are by right in God and what are our responsibilities as disciples of Christ. This will cost us quality time in learning to relate and obey the Lord. Discipleship will demand our commitment and devotion to the course of the kingdom of God. By this, we will keep growing from level to level till we are able to help others go through the process. It is then, we can stand for Jesus and obey Him in all situation. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to totally surrender to you.

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.
