  GREAT HOME John 14:1-6 Devotional:- “In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (V. 2) NKJV At creation, God created man into a paradise made for his eternal pleasure. God did not intend that the human race would ever live in suffering. Man was made to enjoy the best of mental exertion for a beautiful outfit. Man was to live forever in the paradise of God. But the devil cunningly deceived man, which made God chase man out of the paradise. Since then, the life of man has been terrible and most miserable. That is why when people have everything they need in this world, they will still discover that they are not fully satisfy. There is no place we can live that will fully satisfy us. This is a factor and the fact that something in us is still looking for something somewhere better than this world. In search of this, some people try to go to the moon and other planets. But in the scripture we read today, Jesus ...

BABIES AND MEN

BABIES AND MEN 

1Corinthians 13:8-13
Devotional:-“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (v.11) NKJV

   Everyone including Jesus was born as a baby. But we are not expected to remain a baby for the rest of our lives. To remain a baby is a curse and a trap of the devil. It is funny sometimes to see an adult behaving like baby and this disturbs us. It is therefore important to know what the attitude and attribute of a baby is and that of an adult.

A baby always misplaces priorities. In other words, he does not know what is really important. This means, he can play away with less important things at the expense of important thing. He lacks self-control, He can’t organize himself and discipline himself to walk in his schedule. Adult will have to help in controlling him always. Weak in appetite, emotion, sex, food, leisure and not knowing when to stop.  

A baby has an instant gratification and not able to resist the urge to do what feel good at the moment. A baby is self-centered and incapable of considering others.Adult are people who could consider others alongside with themselves. Adult can exercise self-control and not wait to be rebuked or disgraced. They are patience and can endure in situations. They don’t break down because of pain but use it to build up in strength to overcome. Adult disciplined himself to go through temporary pain for permanent solution. They give consideration to the future as they go through today. They grow in principles of wisdom. Friends, measure your life with this information to know where you are for your growth. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to grow up as an adult.

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 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 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.
