  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

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.
