PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

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.
