  YOUR VICTORY IS WAITING John 16:25-33  Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (v. 33) NKJV It is of great importance that we recognize that there are two forces ruling the earth. They are the forces of God, and devil; light, and darkness, or good, and evil, You can refer to them in any of these ways. These two forces are consistently against each other. That is why darkness and light don’t co-exist. The moment there is light, darkness cannot stand there. But you will observe that one is stronger than the other. For example, if you are in a room and it is dark, if you put on the light darkness gives way. But it is impossible for darkness to come and off the light, or take over from light or chase light away. God is light and the enemy is darkness. “The light shines through the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it” (John 1:5) TLB. This ...

FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

Romans 5:1-11
DEVOTIONAL – “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (Vs. 10) 


    As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that [Gen 3, Roman 3:23]

 In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God [2 Corinthians 5:18]. Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free and direct access to the king [John 15:15]. To become the best friend of God you must have constant time of conversation with God. To pray without season means conversing with God every time and everywhere. Words like I’m depending on you, I belong to you, help me Lord, gives you continual conversation with God also meditations on His words consistently.

To grow your friendship with God, you must choose to be honest with God, tell him when you are happy or not [Job 42:7]. Genuine friendship is built on disclosure [Ps 142:2-3]. To grow your friendship with God you must choose to obey God in faith [John 15:14], you must choose to value what God value and you must desire friendship with God more than anything else [Ps 27:4, Ps 63:3, Phi. 3:10]. Keep your choice of friendship with God even in pain. Remember pain is the fuel of passion. Take your pain as a wakeup call to love God and not as punishment. Peace!

PRAYER – Lord, help me to always be close to you.

‘’YOU ARE CLOSE TO GOD AS MUCH AS YOU CHOOSE TO ‘’

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 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.
