JOY OF PARENTS

  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

LIFE TIME        

Ephesians 4: 10-13
Devotional:-“till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (v.13) NKJV


    For those who love to grow, it is important you know that growth is gradual and it is a life time adventure. We will only be perfect when we get to heaven. As long as we live in this world and in the flesh, we have to keep growing to overcome. 

That is why you must not be disturbed that you still make mistakes. The Bible says, to us that God gives us the ministry gift. These are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. These ministry gifts are offices God put people to function in, to equip the saints i.e., to raise believers to serve the Lord that the church of Jesus may keep growing. 

Then the Bible pointed us to the fact that we have to keep growing till we come to easily working together with the Holy Spirit. As the body of Christ, we become mature in the Spirit when we are able to keep working together as one. But this is not a product of a few years of learning. That is why all children of God must keep growing in the Lord. We are slow learners; we are all in the process of growing. We should not keep repeating the same mistakes of life. So, commit yourself to a life time journey with God (Gen. 17:1) Don’t graduate out of growth, else you start to go down. Don’t become too big to learn. Then you will become more and more mature in Christ. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to have a life time commitment of growing in you.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

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.
