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...

CHOICE AGENT

CHOICE AGENT              

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional:-“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."  v. 28


   When God made man, he was made just like God to have dominion over all that He has made. Man was made a spirit, he possesses a soul and lives in a body (Genesis 2:7). Since we were made like God, one of the features made with us is the ability to choose. So, we have the ability to choose between what is right or wrong and good and evil. That is why the Psychologists said, we are free moral agent. God respects our choices and decisions (Deuteronomy 30:19). He made us as free moral agents so that we can choose to love God.

Please understand that we are not made like robots to just do what God wants without our will (Isaiah 1:19). Man can choose whether to love God or not (Deut. 30:19-20). Moses told the children of Israel to choose the way of God, because he knew that our decisions are our choices.

You and I need to wake up to know that whatever happens to us in life is a product of our choices. We therefore need to be conscious of our steps for we are responsible for all our choices. We will be judged in eternity based on the choices we made in the course of our events on earth (2 Corinthians 5:10). As kingdom citizens, it is important we learn the act of making right choices. That is when we can be approved before our King for our lifting. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to make the right choices before you always

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.
