MAKING GOD HAPPY

  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY

FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY

Romans 1:11-17
Devotional: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith”” (V. 17)


    It is important we know that Christianity is not a religion. A religion is human approach to worshipping God. Religion is a belief or a worship of a deity or a controlling power. Much more than this, Christianity is a lifestyle. It is a lifestyle of faith. It is a relationship with God. Jesus came to connect us to the father (John 20:17). 

The word of God told us that, God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He made all things including man (Genesis 1:1-3; John 1:1-5). He made man also as a spirit to live in the flesh, that is why we are physical and visible (Genesis 1:26-28). If man will therefore relate with God who is a Spirit and invisible, it has to be by faith (Hebrews 11:6).

Friend, it is important you know that anything we are doing in this world can only be done by faith. The scripture we read today said the just shall live by faith. The just are those who are justified by faith in the work of the cross (Romans 5:1-2). These are the people we call Christian. So, you must learn the way of faith, for without faith you cannot relate with God (Hebrews 11:6). Anyone that is not living by faith is not a Christian. That is why you and I must learn and cultivate the life of faith and your life will start to reflect the glory of God. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, teach me to live by faith

“WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK WITH GOD”

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.
