  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid.

FELLOWSHIP WITH BELIEVERS

 FELLOWSHIP WITH BELIEVERS   

Hebrews 10: 19-25
Devotional:-“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” (v.25) NKJV


    It is your company that determines your growth in the Lord. This is because everyone is a product of his/her fellowship. As social being, we are all influenced by the people we relate with regularly. That is why spiritual growth demand a company with believers. 

The word of God told us not to forsake the assembly of the believers. This is how to grow as a believer. Remember the word fellowship is from the word fellow in the same ship. It is as you join regularly with godly fellow that you can grow in the Lord. 

Apart from the fact that we are influenced by our fellowship, we are also given the privilege of interaction especially in a small cell fellowship. It is in the fellowship that we relate and exercise what we have learnt practically. It is in the fellowship your strength or weaknesses will be tested. It is in the fellowship we are offended to test our maturity. It is the fellowship that proves us weak or strong. Due to the level of your commitment among your small group, this will surely make you to grow in their direction. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be committed to your fellowship.
