WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD 2 Samuel 5:1-10 Devotional:- “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years” (v.4) NKJV One of the good virtues of God we must always appreciate is His faithfulness. God is not a man that will lie; whatever He has said in His word, He is able to do and He shall do. You can always plug yourself into His promises as much as you work in His covenants. I always tell people never to think God’s word is written only to some specific persons we hear or read about in the Bible. The word of God is the standard practice and programme of God. They were only privileged to be the ones to receive the word at their time, but God is still the same, and so is His word. In claiming the word of God, you must learn to be able to patiently wait. People who will retain their joy must add this virtue to their life (Hebrews 6:12). Our scripture today told us of the installation of David as king, but that was a promise he received from God when he was about 1...

ENDURING TRIBULATIONS

ENDURING TRIBULATIONS 

2 Thessalonians 1:1-11
Dev:- “so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure” (V. 4)


    Everyone who has chosen to be citizen of the kingdom of God must be ready to face tribulations. This is because the kingdom of God is a kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness is always looking for a way to stop the activities of the kingdom of God.

 Jesus said to us that in this world we shall be facing tribulations. Jesus taught us to handle it with cheers (John16:33). Tribulations are pointer to the fact that the enemy is taking advantage of our individual weaknesses and limitations. There is nothing palatable about tribulations. It is just that actions commands reactions. That you love the Lord and serving Him makes you an envy of the kingdom of darkness.

The word of God said those who trouble us shall be troubled (Jeremiah 30:16). But you and I must endure tribulations to earn the crown of life (James 1:12). God’s word teaches us to rejoice greatly because our reward in heaven shall be great (Matthew 5:11-12). Don't because of tribulations turn back from Christ. God allows it to train you and to build you up (Hebrews 12:7-11). Endure to the end (Mark 13:13) Refuse to deny Christ, don't turn back from the services of God. Then you will be qualified for your reward at last. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me not to turn back from you.

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.

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.

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.
