SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

OBEDIENCE

OBEDIENCE

Genesis 26:1-6
Devotional:- “because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws” (V. 5)


    It is going to be difficult to live a consecrated life without willingness and readiness to always obey the Lord. Many times we struggle with this reality. Most Christian sees obedience to God as what they do when they like to do that. Many don't want to be too close to the side of the Lord, so that they can still do things the way they want to do them. You need to know that when you are not full with God, you are fully with the world ruled by the devil (Revelation 3:15-16)

For such people, the kingdom can wait until after they finished enjoying their dream party with beer. Such are not part of the kingdom of God (Romans 14:17). God’s children must be totally separated to the Lord without dream of worldliness any more (James 4:4). The truth is that, what we call enjoyment in the world are activities of demons to carry out their own agenda (John 10:10).

You need to sincerely ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to always obey the Lord. If a child of God is grown up, a time should come that you will no longer be able to disobey the Lord, no matter what. If Jesus is your master, then you cannot obey another master (Romans 8:6-8). Isaac had no option than to obey the Lord and he became blessed al last. You are the next

PRAYER: Lord, make it difficult for me to disobey You anytime.

“PARTIAL OBEDIENCE IS STILL DISOBEDIENCE”

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.
