REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY

  REHEARSAL FOR ETERNITY Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 Devotional:- “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” (V.11) It is important you realize that life here is a rehearsal for eternity. Just like you spend nine month in your mother’s womb, but that was a preparation for the real life, so also is life here compared to eternity. No matter how many years you spend here it is not up to one percent of eternity.  The scripture we read today says that God has planted eternity in our heart. That is why you don’t want to die. But as God’s kingdom citizen, death is not your termination but transition. So, choosing where to spend eternity is what we do here. This is by choosing to relate with Jesus the son of God or with sin and devil. That means these two relationship determines where you will spend your eternity (John 3:16).  The best way to live as a child of God ...

GOOD WORKS

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Devotional:- “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them”  (V. 10) NKJV


    God is a good God. He is the one that does good works (Job 5:9). If anyone therefore wants to do good works as the Bible says, then he/she must be ready to do what God is doing. To do good works is also to be used by God to help others. Good works are therefore a ministry of help to humanity.

The word of God said: God has recreated us and prepared us for this. In other word, we were saved and redeemed for this purpose. When Jesus redeemed us, He has repackaged in us the ability to do good works. This He does through the Holy Spirit He gave to us. The Holy Spirit does this through us by giving us different abilities and gifts (1 Corinthians 12:6-7). These are our instruments for good works.

It is therefore important that make sure our services to God are good works before God. This is by doing it to please the master and to bless lives. Our work may look good but it is not done in righteousness, it will be bad work. The difference between good and bad work is that only good work will be rewarded by God. God must direct us to it and we do it in His will by His grace and abilities He gave us. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make all my life for your good works

“It is either you are doing good work or bad work”

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.
