  SPIRITUAL BLESSING Ephesians 1:1-8 Devotional:- “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (v.3) NKJV In the demonstration of the love of Christ to us, believers need to come to awareness that He has made every blessing available to us in heavenly places. You need to know that nothing happens physically on earth unless it has first been approved to be, in heaven. You will observe some people trying to achieve something you consider not too difficult, but it eventually becomes impossible for them. This is because heaven has not approved it for them. You must have heard Apostle Paul use the language, “from the foundation of the world,” that is, the things already concluded in heaven for us. But as for you, the bible says, God has already blessed you with all blessings in the heavenly places. It means it is approved for you, and God will support you to attain it. You can know all that he...

PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY

PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY

James 3:13-18
Devotional – “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (v.18)


    Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it.

For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfected.

To protect your church you must choose to encourage rather than criticizing (Rom 14:4-10). It is the devils job to blame, complain and criticize, don’t join him (Revelation 12:10). Then refuse to listen to gossip. People who gossip to you will also gossip about you. (Proverbs 17:4, Jude 1:19). Learn to confront those who gossip about your church and your Pastor Thessalonians 5:12-13). Pray for your leaders, pastors, and not arguing but prayerfully teach harmony to destroy disunity. Peace!

PRAYER ---Lord, give me the spirit of a peace maker.

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.

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.
