  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

SEEKING THE WORD

John 30:24-31
Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen ME, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” v29 (NKJV)


    Faith is seeing what God is saying. Man is a spirit and he has a soul and dwell in the body (1 Thessalonian 5:23). Because man is a spirit, this makes it possible for man to relate with God who is a Spirit (John 4:24). There are therefore some spiritual features in us that we must retain to use for our advantage. Part of it is our ability to imagine or see the invisible in our mind.

Faith is spiritual, it is not bold face, it is not mere confession of the Bible. Faith grows in us when we see what the Bible is saying. If we only read the Bible, we may not receive faith, but when we can see, we will not doubt (Jeremiah 1:11-12). Thomas almost became a lost disciple till he saw Jesus.

Friend, when you study the word of God, learn to turn the scripture to picture through your imagination, then faith will grow in you. Whenever you are in the house of God see the presence of God there (Matthew 18:20). See the angels of God (Hebrews 12:22). Then your faith will grow to receive. When you pray for a sick person in the name of Jesus, see the sickness leaving (Mark 16:17). See your blessing come (Mark 11:24) Then you are set for greatness in God. Peace!

Prayer: - Lord, open my eyes to always see wonderful things in your word.

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.
