FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

NEED FOR WISDOM.

NEED FOR WISDOM.   

Proverbs 9: 1-12
Devotional: -“If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone." (V. 12)


    Life without wisdom is life without meaning. So many faithful followers of Christ today are just suffering for nothing. They have prayed and fasted but lack good result and it is simply because wisdom is lacking in their lives. The biggest problem of many people is that, they don't know that they lack it. And it is the work of the devil to darken the mind of people in this world (Ephesians 4: 18). God's word gives us the task of asking wisdom from God but some don't even know what wisdom is all about (James 1: 5). 

The book of wisdom says, if you are wise, you are wise for yourself. This is because we are the one who need wisdom. So, if you look for it, it is for your gain. God is the giver of wisdom and from Him comes understanding (Ecclesiastes 2:26). If anyone does not take time to seek wisdom and get it, he/she will have himself/herself to blame. Wisdom is the fear of God. It is the fear of God to depart from evil (Job 28:28).

Without wisdom, no man can truly succeed. If you tend to correct some people, they will resist you (Proverbs 4:7-8). The evil of foolishness is the devil making man feels "They want to deceive you ooo". As we grow in life, we tend to realize many things we have done wrongly. Let us give attention to searching the wisdom of God for living. Then, we shall find the way of God to advance and succeed. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for wisdom.

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.
