HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP

PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP      

Luke 14: 25-27
Devotional:-"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” (v.26) NKJV

      Discipleship is an important aspect of our Christian life, without which we cannot really call anyone a child of God. That is why, we need to understand the purpose of discipleship. Today, so many people who come to church can also be found in beer parlors and harlot houses. This is because they were not discipled for Christ. 

     When Jesus began His ministry, the first set of people He was out to get were people that will be His disciples (Mark 3:14) It was the twelve, the seventy and the one hundred and twenty that stood for Him when He ascended to heaven. It is Christ’s disciples that are labouring to share the gospel all over the world today. 
 
    Jesus raised disciples that men and God can be truly connected in love (Luke 14: 26). He raised His disciples so that man can represent God on the earth (John 20:21). If there is no discipleship, there will be no spiritual maturity. It is discipleship that makes man love God not withstanding their challenges. It is discipleship that makes us endure in patience till our miracles come (2 Timothy 2:3). It is discipleship that make us learn from Christ and look like Him (Matthew 10:25). The weaknesses in the church today are basically because we have stopped making disciples. It is therefore, important that you commit yourself to growing like Jesus to become His disciple. Take this responsibility for Christ and you will be like Him indeed. Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a true 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.
