A BELOVED

  A BELOVED Romans 9:23-26  Devotional:- “I will call them my people who are not my people, and her beloved who was not beloved.” (V. 25) When a man lacks true lovers around him, he is bound to go through some frustrating experiences and discouragement. During the period of challenges, you will know that even those who say they love you are rather pretenders who come around you only for what they will get from you. When a man is going through a trying situation, people you expect to come around and show some love and level of understanding sometimes desert him. If this is what is happening to you at the moment, I need to bring to your awareness that God truly loves you. He calls you his beloved. God has a special love for you. He fully demonstrated this by allowing His son to die on the cross for your sake (John 10:11). Do you know that this is not ordinary? He really loves you. He is planning for you more than you can ever imagine? Do you know that all that God is doing both ...

FILLED WITH WISDOM

FILLED WITH WISDOM     

Deuteronomy 34: 1-12
Devotional:-“Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses” (v.9) NKJV


    A man is said to be growing when he is filled with wisdom (Luke 2:40). This is a normal demonstration of growth. A major trouble in the life of most people today is the inability to grow in wisdom. It becomes more challenging when they cannot locate someone to counsel them in the way of wisdom. Since most people are not growing in wisdom, they cannot raise others in wisdom. Because, no man can give what he does not have. When parents are not filled with wisdom, the children cannot. When teachers do not possess wisdom, the students cannot.

    We read in the testimony of Joshua today that he was filled with wisdom. So also is Jesus, Solomon and the Apostles. Wisdom is evidential in taking wise action. It may not be easy to grow wisdom just by learning or reading about it. It is better given by following a wise master (Proverbs 13:20). Man is slow in learning; we are people who need to fail to succeed. That is why we need someone to show us, instruct us and correct us. 

    Joshua related closely with Moses, to be filled with wisdom, the laying of hands was not all it takes. That is an impartation. There is a need to humble yourself to relate with the wise and you will manifest the wisdom of God (Proverbs 13:20). This simply means, the kind of people you are relating with, will go a long way to determine who you will be in life. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord impart your wisdom into my life.

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.

COURAGE

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.
