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.

WITH GOD AND MEN

WITH GOD AND MEN  

Scripture: Luke 2: 41-52
Devotional:-“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (v.52) NKJV


    Growth helps us to have effective relationship with God and men. Quality relationship is the evidence of maturity. When people can’t manage their relationship either with family, friends or staff, it is because they have not been able to develop maturity in factors of relationship. So, God expect us to grow in relationship.

 We read about the testimonies of Jesus in our scripture today of how He was having favor with God and men. The favor He had with God and man was a product of His quality relationship with them. That is why each of us must also grow in our relationship. 

To grow in relationship with God, is to create time to consistently be with Him, communicating with God in praises and worship, studying His word and asking in prayers. In this, we enjoy grace to obey Him and please Him for our favor (Joshua 1:8). To grow in relationship with people, we must humble ourselves to relate (Proverbs 18:24). We must understand different nature of people. We must learn to endure and tolerate with people. This is when we can grow maturely in relationship. By this, we will be able to walk in favor. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, teach me to relate well in life.

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.
