  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...

SAVED TO BE BLESSED

SAVED TO BE BLESSED 

Scripture Reading: Galatians 3:10-14
Devotional:- “That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (V.14 NKJV


    God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to come and save us. Salvation is rescuing someone from destruction. Poverty is a destroyer of life and destiny. Poverty is part of the destructive work of the devil. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil in the life of all His children including poverty (1 John 3:8). That is why He came to the world.

The word of God says “He became a curse for us so that we will not stay under curses any longer” (Galatians 3:13). Jesus came so low for our sake, He became poor so that through His poverty we can be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). He became poor by coming to live among us. He went through the same experiences like you and I. He came to our level to be able to show us the way out of our situation. If poverty is evil, then Jesus has given us victory over it (John 16:33).

So, settle this in your mind that you are saved to be free financially. So, riches is one of your heritage in Christ Jesus. Don't think in your mind that this is an heresy because we have read it from the Bible the book of the truth. I pray that the eyes of your understanding will be opened that you may see what God has prepared for you in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:17-18). For the fact that your experiences proved negative does not make the word of God to be negative. As a saved soul, the word of God called you a peculiar person (1Peter 2:9). Do not remove your name from the list. You are saved to be blessed and be a blessing (Genesis 12:1-3). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes of understanding to my riches in you.

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.
