It is a proof that you are ready for more. It shows that if God does more for you, you will be mature to handle it and be a blessing through His instructions.   In the scripture we r...

SELF DENIAL

SELF DENIAL     

Matthew 16:24-28
Devotional: -“Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.24) NKJV


    An important factor in the process of discipleship is that, you must deny yourself to be able to follow Jesus. Self, is the major hindrance to our walking with God. By self, I mean the flesh, this is the human nature in us. This human nature has been cultured into sinful and selfish life. The flesh does not want to please God (Romans 8:5-8). So, those who are ruled by the desires of their flesh cannot please God.

`If anyone want to be a disciple of Jesus, he/she must deny the flesh to satisfy God. Our body is made up to help us relate with the physical world, but we must put it under control, so that, it does not send us to hell (1 Corinthians 9:27). The flesh is the five senses that always give us information of the things of the world. 

`Every attempt you made to please God; your human nature will not support it. So, you need to deny it by not allowing it control you against God, but yielding to the Holy Spirit and the word of God. It is then you can begin to grow into the likeness of Christ. Your ability to say No to the flesh and Yes to God is a good step towards maturity. Then, His beauty shall be seen on you. Peace!

Prayer - Lord, give me the enablement to yield to you always.

“EVERY MAN IS EITHER YIELDING TO GOD OR TO THE FLESH”

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.

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
