  HAPPY CHILDREN Ephesians 6:1-4 Devotional:- “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” (V. 1) NKJV  Children are always very happy. Research said an average child laughs between 300 to 400 times in a day. They sometimes wonder why Daddy and Mummy don’t laugh as they do. That is the reason children also need the wisdom to sustain their Joy despite their age. Our scripture today teaches children who want to remain happy to be obedient to their parents. God organizes the home as a school of life for children and parents, and is the major teacher. As long as your parent teaches you in the way of the Lord, be obedient to them. Honour your parents always. To honour means to respect and yield to their guide. By so doing, you will make them glad, and you will also remain a joyful person all the days of your life.  Always remember that it is what you so that you will reap. Their words may not look like wisdom to you now, this is because of your level of maturit...

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
