REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY

  REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 Devotional:- “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” (V.11) It is important you realize that life here is a rehearsal for eternity. Just like you spend nine month in your mother’s womb, but that was a preparation for the real life, so also is life here compared to eternity. No matter how many years you spend here it is not up to one percent of eternity.  The scripture we read today says that God has planted eternity in our heart. That is why you don’t want to die. But as God’s kingdom citizen, death is not your termination but transition. So, choosing where to spend eternity is what we do here. This is by choosing to relate with Jesus the son of God or with sin and devil. That means these two relationship determines where you will spend your eternity (John 3:16).  The best way to live as a child of God ...

GROWING IN FINANCES

GROWING IN FINANCES        

1 Thessalonians 4: 9-12
Devotional:-“that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing” (v.12) NKJV


  Just like we have to grow in the strength of the Lord, in relationship with God and people, making a good home, in managing our own businesses, growing in faith and in wisdom, so also in handling finances. A major area where the devil punishes many Christians today is in the area of money. It is the reason many are frustrated and are moving from church to church. 

   To grow in finance does not only mean to have more money alone, but to have the godly understanding towards money. The word of God says, we should not lack. The first Church was not in lack (Act 4: 34). Remember you are a member of the body of Christ. Which means you are connected to Jesus and are now one with Him. Because you are in Him, He will always flow His blessings to you. You will therefore need to grow in handling money matter so that we can be a blessing to God’s kingdom. 

There is a need for all of us to trust God to earn from multiple businesses (1 Thessalonian 4:11-12). As we wait on the Lord, He will give us vision for businesses (Isaiah 40:31). We must grow in discipline to save a determined percentage of all our earnings. We must save ahead for any project we desire to achieve for the glory of God. We must grow the habit of spending what remain only after our savings. We must have the habit of faithfulness to God in paying our tithe, offering and kingdom project. We must make it a habit to regularly bless ministers of God and be diligent in our business. That way, you will not lack and you will keep growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me a master over money.

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.
