SHARING YOUR FEELING

  SHARING YOUR FEELING Hebrews 4:11-16 Devotional:- “For we do not have an high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness… (V. 15)” It is not always very easy for people to understand us, especially when we pass through challenges and are weak. Even those who want to understand and sympathise could get to a level and turn back. Sometimes, instead of people sympathising with us, they constitute a panel of judges and begin to point accusing fingers at us.  As part of the act of love of Jesus, the scripture we read today says, He sympathises with us in our situation. In other words, He knows exactly what you are going through, both the one you can explain and the one you cannot. He could feel exactly the way you feel. The Bible says, He has suffered as we do. Even if you are struggling with a weakness or a sin, He has also been in the flesh. He knows how painful your feelings are. He cannot reject you, and He identifies with you and still loves you. That is why He made provi...

CAIN’S CHOICE

CAIN’S CHOICE      

Genesis 4:1-7 
Devotional:- “If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Vs. 7


    When it comes to giving to God, either tithe or offering or seed, you find different kind of attitude. As citizen of the kingdom of God, you need to know that the most important thing to God when it comes to our giving life, is our willingness to obey God from the heart (Genesis 22:1-3). God will always test you to know what is in your heart (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). Your willingness to obey God qualifies you for the next level with God (Luke 16:10-12, Isaiah 1:19).

Cain wanted to give to God out of his substance. His attitude towards the act of giving determines what he gave to God. Cain gave to God a worthless offering and it was unacceptable to God. God says, he did not do well. Beloved, your choice of what you give to God determines the resultant blessings or curse as the case may be. Cain envied Abel his brother because God had respect for Abel’s offering and accepted it. 

Many times, we envy the faithful children of God. Those who have caught the secret of sacrificial giving always give their best to God. Some could say that God is partial, but God is not partial, it is what you give that you get. If you give sparingly, you get sparingly. If you give bountifully, you get bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6). May you begin to make a decision to give God the best from now. 

Prayer:  Lord, help me to always give my best to you

“IF YOU DO WELL YOU WILL BE ACCEPTED”

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.
