  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

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.

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 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.
