A CHOSEN PEOPLE

A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

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”

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
