  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

ENCOURAGEMENT

Isaiah 52:1-10 
Devotional:- “Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you” (V.1)


    It's important that all God's Kingdom citizen knows that they must not joke with the issue of encouragement in their lives. Discouragement could frustrate anyone to death. Discouragement will make many turn to the way of the devil and miss their eternity with God. That is why we must not joke with the issue of encouragement. There is no one that cannot be discouraged but encouragement is bouncing back to courage. Discouragement is inability to draw from the energy of the spirit to drive into achievement of life.

Encouragement is picking up courage again after been discouraged. Without courage, human being will be equal to a vegetable, not able to achieve anything in life. No matter how skillful or strong anyone is, discouragement can beat him/her hands down. 

To be encouraged is to bounce back to courage. This is when we find the energy to move rising in us again. God is bringing you back to courage from now. He is renewing your strength (Isaiah 40:31). You have been humbled enough. The time has come for you to arise from slumbering (Isaiah 52:1). Your God is not a God of failure. He is able to help you. Return back to His word and bounce back to faith in Him (Romans 10:17). And you shall see your victory again.

PRAYER: Lord, restore your strength in my life

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 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.
