GOOD REPORT

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

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.

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.

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.
