  APPRECIATION Psalm 92:1-10 Devotional:- “It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High” (v.1) NKJV It is in the habit of most people that when they are expecting something from God, they will do everything possible to gain His favour. But as soon as it is done, that thing loses value to them. So, people only value what they don’t have. This sometimes does not make us have a heart of gratitude to God. We will always promise to give thanks, but as soon as we receive our expectations, some will forget to give thanks. Many do not know that the opportunity or privilege that is available to them is what qualifies them for what they are expecting. But they look down on this because their expectations have not been met. Your health is more important than travelling abroad. The breath of life you enjoy is far more valuable than the car or job you are expecting. In fact, this qualifies you for those things. Friend, no matter what God has done for you,...

MEMBER OF HIS BODY

MEMBER OF HIS BODY

1 Corinthians 12:14-27
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (v. 27) NKJV


    One of the reasons you must be growing as a child of God is that you have become one with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17). You are now a member of His body. As a member of the body of Christ, you must not be a stagnant part. The life of Christ is to flow into you. If the life of Christ is flowing into you, then you must be growing.

The problem with many so-called Christian is that, they are not conscious member of the body of Jesus. They claim to be one but they are not conscious of their nature in Christ. If you are truly one with Jesus, there are a number of things that will not fit in to Christ that we still do today. Beginning from our mind-set, to our speeches, our actions, our relationships, our choices, our attitude, our dresses, our fellowship and many more (1 Corinthians 6:15).

To grow as a member of the body of Jesus, we must be conscious of the fact that God has implanted us in to Christ (Romans 9:25-26). We therefore must keep taking the engrafted word of God (James 1:21). This is by regularly learning the way to live in His body. We must take the other believers as member of the same body with us in Christ (Romans 12:5). We must identify our functions and fit into it as a functional member of the body (Romans 12:4-5). Then we shall be growing and become a blessing to the body of Christ. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, make me a functional member of the body of Christ 

“JESUS IS ONLY COMING FOR THE MEMBER OF HIS BODY”

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.

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).

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.
