BEING HELP

  BEING HELP Romans 12:9-20 Devotional:- “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” (V. 13) NIV There is hardly anyone in the world who does not need help, except that they are not making any move to make something happen. So help is a need of people who are looking forward, people who have vision or people who are pursuing a life goal. If you consider yourself in need of help, then you are just one of the people on the path of success. This help could vary from the need for the right people’s assistance, counselling, or money and material. We need to understand with clarity that at any period in time, we will surely reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). And so we must keep sowing help into the life of others to reap help. The bible says, “Share with people who are in need“ Let us be careful not to be too need-conscious that you don’t remember to do good to others. There are people you are far better off. There are people around us who look at us as priv...

CARNAL MIND

CARNAL MIND   

Romans 8: 1-8
Devotional: -“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (v.6)


    Many people want to succeed, but they operate a carnal mind. No one can succeed without his mind. There is no success in view for a mad man. It is not that he is not a man; it is only that he is a man without a working mind. He cannot sell or organize a business or employ a staff to work for him and pay. Why? He cannot coordinate himself, a man who can do all that, is not mad. So also, no one can succeed without a good mind.

 A carnal mind is a mind that is not subject to the Spirit or the word of God. He only operates in the old Adamic nature which is the nature of a natural man without Christ. This mind has been wrongly nurtured by the ungodly and sinful way of the world.  Though he may be coming to the church but has not allow the Holy Spirit to govern his heart. Such Christian jest with servants of God because to them, success in life does not demand serious commitment to God. So, he has not seen the need for God in his life. That is why there will be hidden activities of the devil around his life and family and that will only be more revealed in the days of challenges.

To be free from such negative experiences, the person has to separate himself to seek the Lord. He needs a genuine relationship with God by studying the word of God and praying daily. He needs to be committed to the fellowship of children of God for proper nurturing in the Lord. Then he will find the Lord as he seek him with a genuine heart. That is when he can begin to enjoy divine wisdom for his success. Peace

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from carnal mind by your Spirit.

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.
