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...

SANCTIFICATION

SANCTIFICATION 

2 Chronicles 29:3-19
Dev:- And they gathered their brethren, sanctified themselves, and went according to the commandment of the king, at the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. (v.15)


    It is very important as we wait for the coming of Jesus that we sanctify ourselves unto God. To sanctify oneself is to decide to separate oneself unto God. The word sanctification means separation. Many people follows the Lord but not many are separated unto Him. To sanctify yourself unto God is to consciously see yourself as belonging to the Lord.

There are two spirits that rules the world, the spirit of God and of the devil. Either of these two spirit rules in the life of all humanity without knowing. The spirit of the devil often want to come in to control the life of people and this can happen to anyone who is not careful (Mark 8:33). That is why you must consciously sanctify yourself unto the Lord.

In sanctification you determine and separate yourself unto God. This will make you look out for any activities of the devil around you and reject it. In your mind you must see yourself belonging only to the Lord (Ephesians 5:11). You must not have anything to do with the work of darkness. No matter who is advising you when you are sanctified to the Lord you will want to discern the spirit (Gen. 39:7-12). The attitude of Joseph, Daniel and the three Hebrew was because they sanctify (separated) themselves unto the Lord. This are the kind of people Jesus is coming for.  Be prepared!

Prayer: Lord I receive grace to sanctify myself unto you.

"IF YOU ARE NOT SEPARATED UNTO SOMETHING, THEN YOU ARE SEPARATED TO ANOTHER”

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).

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.
