LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE

  LIVING IN YOUR PURPOSE Ecclesiastics 4:1-6 Devotional:- "Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind” (V.4)   One of the most frustrating things in life is when people don’t know what exactly to live for. In that case they just live doing whatever they find others living for.  So many people live their lives driven by guilt. So they keep regretting their steps and past. Some live all their lives on resentment and anger. So many lives are in disarray because they are victims of transfer of aggression. So many lives are driven by fear of many things, so many live their lives driven by materialism, so they live a live that is never satisfied pursuing money. Other lives are driven by the need for approval. So it is what people say about them that determine their joy. The best way to live is to be driven by purpose for which God made you.  When you allow God’s purpose for your life...

THE MIND OF CHRIST

THE MIND OF CHRIST      

1 CORINTHIANS 2:6-16
Devotional:-“For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.” (v.16)


    The mind of Christ is a mind that has been regenerated by the blood and the word of Christ (Heb. 9:13-14; 2 Cor. 5:17). When we give our life to Christ, repent of our sins and confess Jesus as our Lord and saviour, then the Holy Spirit takes over our spirit man (1 Corinthians 12:3). This is when the mind becomes a Spirit-controlled mind. 

God's word says, a carnal mind or religious mind cannot receive the truth of the word of God, because they are foolishness to Him (1 Cor. 2:14) but a mind of Christ is able to access the revelation of the word of God by the Holy Spirit in him. These are believers who can access and release new ideas that will cause a positive change in their character (1 Cor. 2:9-10). This mind is always motivated and creative to excel. It is a mind controlled by the Holy Spirit. 

Friends, there are things that eyes have not seen, nor hears heard, nor have entered into the thought of men that God wants to unfold through you as a citizen of His kingdom. Every mind is influenced by the spirit in them (Job 32:8) That is why, by the help of the Holy Spirit you should not be helpless. A major assignment of the Holy Spirit is to make you a wonder to your generation through your thinking. This, you will step into as you regularly fellowship with the Holy Spirit in worship and worship. Your fellowship becomes strong with the Holy Spirit as you meditate in the word of God (Psalm 119:97-109; Joshua 1:8). You should always separate yourself for a time to receive instruction from God for divine wisdom (Matt 7:24). Then you will be operating the mind of Christ. Peace!

PRAYER:  Lord, give me a thirst to fellowship with you 

"THE MIND OF CHRIST WILL ALWAYS OPERATE THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE"

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.
