GREATEST FATHER

  GREATEST FATHER John 20:11-18 “Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” (V.17) NKJV   Though there is a great number of males in the world today, there are few true fathers. Men who can be referred to as good fathers are rare. This is the reason for the breeding of terrible children in today's homes. Many children don’t even know what it is to have a father. That is why when God is referred to as our father, it does not interest some of us in any form. We only look at Him as one of those absentee fathers in the world. In the scripture we read today, Jesus died and resurrected again and purchased us back to God by His blood. The first person He met after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene. He was glad to share with Mary the good news of God becoming our Father through His death. He probably would have expecte...

UNDERSTANDING        

Matthew 13: 18-23
Devotional:-“But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" (v.23) NKJV


   A child of God is said to be growing when he is developing in understanding. When people don’t work in understanding, they walk in the trap of death (Proverbs 21: 16). Because of lack of understanding, people will lose in the race of life. It is understanding that inform us of good decisions. 

The word of God told us the meaning of the parable of the Sower. This simply centered around people who lack or have understanding. The Sower, sowed the word but for some it did not mix with understanding, so it was unfruitful. But some receive the word with understanding and it produces multiple fruits. Literarily, understanding is the ability to comprehend knowledge or an information. To have a clear view of an information. In a deeper dimension, it is knowing the implication of an effect on an action taken to avoid error or trouble.

As we study the word of God, we should increase in understanding (Luke 2: 17) This is knowing the implication of decision of life from Bible examples and instructions. By understanding, we are able to reduce errors or mistakes, make progress without fear and achieve the plan of God for our lives. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me understanding by your spirit.

"WITH UNDERSTANDING, WE CAN PREVENT THE EVIL AND SAVE COST"

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.
