MY REFUGE

  MY REFUGE Psalms 46:1-7 Devotional:- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (V. 1) It is always very easy for men to say God is not good to them when they have a pressing need. But if you observe it carefully, wisdom will let you always appreciate Him. It is not every one that began this year that is still alive now. Many were faced with challenges greater than themselves and were swallowed up. If you listen to the reasons for their falls, they are not too great. The truth is that you also have passed through challenges greater than theirs, but God was your refuge. Anytime you run to Him, you will find a hiding place in Him. Even when it looks like the situation wants to swallow you, you still find strength for help in God. Do you know that you have been enjoying His refuge not because you are better but because He loves you? No matter what happens, do not be afraid, your lover is your refuge. All you need to do is keep drinking from the river from the...

CHOOSE GOD

Ruth 1:6-18
Devotional- “But Ruth said: Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go;And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God” (v. 16 )


       As God's kingdom Citizens we must be consecrated on to God. To be consecrated onto God is to dedicate oneself to God with a covenant. For us to be able to achieve this we must consciously choose God as our God. This must be done with understanding and with the whole of our heart. So many are aware that Jesus will soon return but not many are sure they belong to Christ (Matthew 7:21-22). 

A major step to be sure you belong to Jesus is to dedicate yourself to the Lord with a covenant. The statement we are reading from Ruth today is a covenant statement. Please be careful not to be casual with God anymore (2 Chronicles 29:10) 

To covenant yourself unto the Lord is to completely agree to live your life as a child of God in this wicked, crooked and unstable world. It is to make a conscious commitment or a vow to the Lord. It is dangerous to assume that you are okay with God when you have not covenanted yourself consciously to follow the Lord and determine to abide with it no matter what. This is when you are consecrating your life unto the Lord (Rom 12:1-2). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I covenant my life unto you alone and to serve you alone all my life. 

“YOU CANNOT BE SURE YOU ARE COMMITTED WHEN IT IS NOT CONSCIOUSLY DONE"

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.
