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...

GROWTH

Luke 2:41-52
Devotional –. “Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.”  v 46


    A major reason for so much frustrations in the world today is lack of growth. Most people grow in one area of their life and live other area undeveloped. The area that we don’t grow in will always be the area of our weakness and failure. Some grow in age but not in spirit. Some grow in experience, but not in knowledge. Some grow in salary but not in ability to manage their resources etc. The truth is that growth is a choice.

In the scripture we read today, Jesus was said to be growing in wisdom. Since our choice will always demand that we pay a price, he was staying among the learned to learn and grow. This is the price of a choice.

Friend, your choice to grow will send you back to school. It will make you buy books and seek knowledge. Growth will demand your effort to manifest. As we grow in age we ought to also grow in all other areas of our lives. We should not be weak in any area of our lives. That is when life can be balanced and we can enjoy the full benefit of living. Peace.

PRAYER – Lord, give me the grace of willingness to pay the price of growth.

“THOSE WHO DON’T CHOOSE TO GROW WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THE PRICE.”

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.
