FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

MADE TO GLORIFY GOD

MADE TO GLORIFY GOD

Revelation 4:1-11
Devotional “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” (V11)


    The first major purpose of your life is to bring glory to God [Isaiah 43:21]. That is why it is built into your sub-conscious mind to worship. When you understand the place of worshipping God in all things, you will no longer feel insignificant. Bringing glory and pleasure to God is what we called worship. God is always happy with those who worship Him [Psalm 147:11]. Please note that anything you do to bring glory, honour or pleasure to God is an act of worship. We are wired by God to worship. If you don’t worship God, you will worship yourself.

We often see some things as worship and others as none. We think we go to worship service but worship is more than just been in the church. It is a life style. Worship is more than music or a particular style of music. To some people when the music is slow down, it is worship and when it is fast, it is praises. But worship is far more than music. Worship has nothing to do with style or volume or speed of a song. God loves all kind of music because, He invented it all through us [Philippians 2:13]. You may not like all the songs but God does. The moment it is sang in Spirit and truth [John 4:23-24].

You also need to know that worship is not for our benefit or enjoyment but it belongs to God. That is why we don’t worship for our pleasure but for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). Worship is your life. It is not just church service or songs, it is all you do. That is why we are told to worship God continually [Psalm 113:3, 34:1]. Every activities can be transformed to worship, when you do it for the praise, honour and glory of God [1 Cor. 10:31]. This is when you do it with an intention to bring glory to God. This happen in your thinking as you do anything you are doing. This is when you do all things as though for God and for His Glory [Colossians 3:23]. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart of continual worship

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.
