  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

JOSEPH

JOSEPH   

Genesis 41: 37-49
Devotional: -“Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.” (v.39)


    Joseph was also a man who demonstrated the wisdom of God in the land of Egypt. He was able to rise from prison to the palace just by demonstrating the divine wisdom. Not because he was better, but because he has the Holy Spirit like you and me. He demonstrated his gift with the help of the Holy Spirit. Pharaoh said, can he find someone like this with the Spirit of God? (Genesis 41:38).

 He also said can we find a man as wise and discerning like Joseph? That is the gift of discernment (Gen 41:33; 1 Corinthians 12:10). Which means with the help of the Holy Spirit any child of God operating in the wisdom of God can achieve what Joseph achieved. 

That is why each of us must learn to use our mind. You must understand that life will offer a man nothing when he does not use his brain positively. Thank God for prayers that employ forces of the angels of God to work for us, but each of us should be able to discern the problem in our land and prescribe its solution. Manage businesses to grow by wisdom of self-discipline with strategic thinking. By so doing, we take our place on the earth for the glory of God. You will surely rise up in Jesus name. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to take my place by the help of the Holy 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.
