  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

JESUS WORKS

John 5:16-23
Devotional – “But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working." (V:17)


    Jesus who is the image of the father to man is working. He caused all kinds of positive change in the life of people around Him when He was physically on earth. He healed the sick, He raised the dead, He provided what people need. These are products of His work.

 One of the greatest sin most people commit today is that, they want to avoid working. They see work stressful. Please know that it is working in obedience to God that is called faith. It is important you know that whoever is not working is sinning, because whatever is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23). This is becuase God has made heavy investment in your life that can be used to effect change in the lives of others. It is irresponsibility and waste to pray and not ready to work because the answer to our prayers always come inform of an instruction. As kingdom citizen we have what it takes to effect a change in our world like Jesus did. We will be sinning if we don’t.

Friend, your life becomes needed when you work. It begins from your home. Take responsibility to do something with the energy of God in your life. This energy is from the instruction of the Word or ideas of God that drops in your heart when you pray (Act 13:2). Every work has profit (Proverb 14:23) Our state of life today is determined by our work. God desire far better life for us, but it will come through our work by faith (Hebrews 11:40). He can only bless the work of our hand (Deut. 2:7). Arise and work. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to arise in your strength to work

“WORKING IS USING WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN TO BLESS OTHERS”

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.
