A CHOSEN PEOPLE

A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

MAKING GOD HAPPY

MAKING GOD HAPPY

Numbers 6:22-27
Devotional:- "May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you" (V25 NLT)

    One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time [Job 1:8]. Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation [Genesis 6:8]. We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him.

To make God happy, we must love Him supremely [Luke 14:26]. No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him [Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9]. To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land [Hebrew 11:7]. Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him completely. Trusting God is an act of worship.

We make God happy, when we obey Him wholeheartedly [Genesis 6:22]. We make God happy, when we praise and thank Him continually [Psalm 69:30-31]. We make God happy, when we use our ability. Every human activity except sin can make God happy when it is with the attitude of praises. God is happy, when He sees us using our abilities for His glory [Psalm 33:15]. You bring glory to God by been you. God is happy, when you enjoy His creation [1Timothy 6:17]. God is happy, when your motive and motivation is love. Make it your goal to make God happy and you will be happy. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me an instrument for your joy and glory.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

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.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
