  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

GENTLENESS.    

Matthew 11:25-30
DEVOTIONAL:-“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”  v.29


    One of the attitude of greatness is gentleness. It is an act of self-controlled. It is manifested in a man who has learn when to be quiet and when to talk. A gentle nature is a nature of a rich and mature people (I Peter 3:4). The word of God says, it is very precious in the sight of God. This wise virtue is cultivated by choice.

In our scripture today, Jesus says I am gentle and lowly in heart and when you walk with me you will find rest for your soul. When a man chooses to operate with a gentle Spirit, relating with him makes you learn so much. This is because this virtue will make him to only respond at the right time with wisdom. The people operating the opposite of a gentle Spirit are the proud, loud and always offensive in relationship (Proverbs 10:21, Eccl. 5:3, 7).

Friend, a loud and proud person will lose many precious friends. Make a choice to cultivate a quiet and gentle spirit. This is not been moody, but been in control of your tongue. Not just talking anyhow, but only in wisdom. Observe that gentleness is part of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). This means, it can be cultivated by the help of the Holy Spirit. It can be produced in the fear of the Lord and in a heart that is humble before the Lord. A gentle man will always be preserved in many situations. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to choose to grow a gentle Spirit.

“A GENTLE MAN KNOWS WHEN TO TALK AND WHEN NOT“

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 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.
