FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

MEN'S FACTOR

MEN'S FACTOR 

2 Peter 1: 5-11
Devotional:-“But also, for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge” (v.5) NKJV


    Though God through the Holy spirit is the one that strengthens us to grow, yet we have part to play. We must be careful of thinking it is God that will do all things for us. It is true that God has a part to play in our growth, but we also have a part (Psalm 127:1-5).

The scripture said we must be diligence to add up knowledge in God. We are to seek knowledge. We are to diligently labour and disallow anything from disturbing our quiet time. It is the Holy spirit that releases the urge and grace but we are to diligently follow His ways. Until we diligently play our part, we may not see growth. 

God's word instructs us to add to our faith, godly character. This means, we are to cooperate with the Holy spirit to yield to His instruction for our change to godly character. We must build up spiritual understanding through knowledge of God (Psalm 119:130). This will demand that we are ready to take responsibility to seek and to have the light of the word of God as we daily meditate in the word of God (Joshua 1:28). And we shall be growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, I need your grace to be available for you at the appointed time. 

"WHEN YOU PLAY YOUR PART, GOD WILL PLAY HIS"

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 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.
