A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

CHRIST LIKE HABITS

CHRIST LIKE HABITS          

Colossians 3: 1-11
Devotional:-“and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” (v.10) NKJV


    One of the blessings God has created with us is the ability to form habits. This makes our future predictable, there are success habits and there are failure habits. When a man begins to form Christ-like habit, then he is growing to be a strong Christian.  Habits of Christ helps us to live like Jesus. It is the same with all other areas of our life. That is why it is said, your habit determines your destiny.

Habits are the routine exercise we undertake daily. We form habit when we undertake a particular practice repeatedly for 21 days. After which it becomes almost like a reflect actions for us. We can only be Christ like when we form the habit of Jesus into our character. You can now see the importance of habits to our Christian journey.

To form Christian habit, we must spend time daily to study and meditate on the character of Jesus (Joshua 1: 8). We must spend regular time in prayers daily (Matthew 14: 23). This is praying the life of Christ into your life. You need the habit of being submissive to your leaders (Hebrews 13: 17). You need the habit of taking faith (Ephesians 6: 16), you need the habit of speaking the truth of the word always (Ephesians 4: 15), you need the habit of forgiving others (Matthew 6: 14-15), habit of giving, fasting and prompt obedience to God. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to build Christ like habit.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
