  FAMILY FORUM Hebrew 12:18-29  Devotional:- "to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,” (V.23) NKJV Every lovely family always has what I refer to as family forum. That is a period when the family comes together to care and share with one another. If you are going to enjoy the benefit of such family, you cannot be away and yet be having the best of the place. As a member of the family of God you must as well be regularly available in the fellowship with children of God. The bible refers to it as the church. The church is the body of Christ of which you are one. So deleting yourself from it will not make you enjoy the treatment Jesus the head gives to the body (Ephesians 5:25-30). You need to know that attending a fellowship, is not to mark a religious register of attendance but it is the coming together of the saints. This forum is always having the presence of Jesus the ...

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

Mark 4:35-41
Devotional:- “But he said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (v. 40)


    The evidence of faith is rest. Fear builds tension in us. It is because of fear and doubt that man has invented hypertension and high blood pressure. They were not part of the creature of God but of man through sin. Fear always break the courage of men to act out for result. As potent as the creation of man, as latent a destiny can be without faith. Circumstances will always look threatening and only the Spirit of God can breathe on us to act positively against negative circumstances (Job 32:8). 

In the scripture we read today, God’s word taught us about a result of faith. Faith is actually resting confidently in the midst of storm. It is not getting disturbed by any warring situation (Hebrew 4:2-3). The disciple of Jesus was faced with a stormy situation and was tensed in fear. Jesus was also in the same boat and was resting. This is because He knows that the great I am that is with Him will never allow the storm to swallow Him.

There is a labor of faith to be able to enter into the rest of faith (Hebrews 4:11-12). This is by resting upon the promises of the word of God. The reason we don’t do this is because we cannot see the forces of God that are working for us (2 Kings 6:15-17) Life achievement become easy when you learn to rest on the promises of the word of God. Labour to locate the promises of the word of God for you and enter into the rest of faith that God might resume (Exodus 14:14) Peace! 

Prayer: - Lord help me to take my rest in your word

“UNTIL YOU CAN REST, GOD CANNOT RESUME”

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.
