A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

REPLACING LIES

REPLACING LIES      

John 8:37-47
Devotional:-“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (v.44) NKJV


    One of the characteristics of maturity is our ability to replace lies with the truth. Growth is gaining strength to overcome the forces contending with us. These forces often present lies to us as truth and in the course of this lock us into fear and intimidation of doubt. It is in this mess that man is weakened and defeated.
    To grow above this intimidation of the devil, we must grow in learning the truth of the word of God. So, when he tells us the lies that we are going to die or fall, we should remind him of what the word of God says. I shall not die but live to declare the praise of God. (Psalm 118:17) God will uphold me with His right hand of righteousness and will not let me fall (Isaiah 41:10) It is our ability to stand firm in the truth in our heart that show us strong. 

That is why you must study to load the word of God into your heart. (Colossians 3:16) You must build your heart firm in faith of the word of God. It is the revelation of the word of God that builds faith in us. It is faith that makes us victorious over contending forces (1 John 5:4). Arise and locate the scripture for your freedom. The devil is a liar, don’t let his lies destroy your health, home, businesses and fuure . Resist him with the truth and he will flee from you (1 Peter 5:8-9). Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me strong by the truth of your word.

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.
