PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

FLEE

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:6-16  
Devotional:- “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness” (V. 11) NKJV


    For everyone who wants to be a vessel unto honour, the word of God told us what we must flee from. There are a whole lot of differences between walking and fleeing. The word fleeing is synonymous to the word flying. This means, it is far higher than running. It actually interprets disappearing. To disappear is to have nothing to trace you to a place.

The word of God asked us to flee from greed. Remember, it terminates the ministry Gehazi ((Proverbs 1:19).. The Bible also teaches us to flee all youthful lust (2 Timothy 2:22). Youthful lust is the temptation to desiring to have all things when you have not labour for. Most people want to have what they have not labour for. We are asked to flee all act of sin and ungodliness.

Please, understand that the spirit using you determines your actions. If you are truly a vessel of God you should not be found around sinful attitude. There are places you should not be found. There are words that should not proceed from your mouth. There are dresses you should not wear. There are songs you should not sing. The word of God instructed us to flee, in case we mistakenly found ourselves in such a place. Then, we shall be vessels of His honour. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, give me the strength to always flee from sin.

“If you don’t flee, it could catch up with 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.
