  NO OFF DUTY Psalms 121:1-8 Devotional:- “He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.” (V. 3) NKJV We have heard of men who are strongly secured physically yet destroyed by the enemy. Most people in the world cannot even afford the cost of security gadgets. As a matter of fact, the world is getting increasingly insecure daily. Let me quickly remind you that God has become your security (Colossians 3:3). This is because of His love for you. The reason why strong men fall victim to the enemy is that their security is not adequate, and that is because it is of man. Since man makes it, men can fault it. Men can be weary and weak. There is no way they will be there always. Do you know that you are secure in Christ Jesus? He is never off duty. He watches over you always because He loves you. No matter how insecure the world grows. They canmot meet up to His security standard. He does not slumber nor sleep. The sun cannot strike you day or the moon by nigh...

LET GO

LET GO   

Ephesians 4: 17-24
Devotional:-“that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts” (v.22) NKJV


  A strong factor of growth is that you have to let go your weaknesses, habit or attitude of unrighteousness. Sometime, we don’t realize that we are holding unto our old nature. We do this when we see it as what we cannot grow out of or do without. 

The word of God told us bluntly that we have to put off the old nature and put on the new man. You can only grow when you allow the weaknesses or the old you to go. Don’t hold on to it. To put off or let go is a conscious effort on our side as a man. This is the act of consciously disallowing our heart from thinking or dwelling on the weak and sinful way. It is a life time battle but the word of God promised us victory in Christ. 

To put off or let go, you must labour to change your thinking pattern over your old nature and take the mindset of the word of God. To achieve this, you must starve to death the sinful nature or weaknesses (Colossians 3:5). This is by stopping to read ungodly information, watch or be among people who encourages you to go that way (Romans 8:14). Identify what is feeding or triggering the attitude and consciously denying yourself of it. To put on the new man is to feed the new nature with the word of God and fellowship that encourages you to live well. You will surely grow. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, strengthens me to say no to ungodliness. 

"STARVE YOUR WEAK NATURE AND FEED YOUR NEW NATURE"

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.
