  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

AUTHENTIC 

Scripture Reading: Luke 16:1-8
Devotional:- “So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light” (V. 8) NKJV


    To be able to overcome financial challenges in our lives, we must learn the act of being authentic. Wrong or insincere spending will always lead to poverty. To be authentic is to live a life that is conforming to the fact on ground. To be authentic is to be factual with ourselves when it comes to the decisions on money and spending. Forcing yourself and borrowing to attain friends’ level is consuming the future.
The Bible tells us to learn from the unfaithful steward, Jesus did not ask us to learn his unfaithfulness but his act of authenticity. He knew he has messed up. He knew there is no one to help him again. This reality made him to practice smart cheating on his boss. We are not to cheat because we are children of God, but we are to be sincere. Borrowing to look big is foolishness, it is self deception. It is borrowing what you don't have, to feed those who don't love you and to earn a fake honour.

There is a need for us to know our level per time. Don't envy anyone. Sit down to see how you will start to grow your finances from your level of income. Start to save, no matter how small. Be sincere to yourself. Don't pretend anymore. Putting your children in a school that you can't afford the school fees but because the children of your friends attends the school is wrong. The time has come to be factual with yourself. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from the spirit of pleasing people.

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.
