  JOYFUL COMPANION  Luke 1:37-45 Devotional:- “For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy” (v.44) NKJV We must know that sooner or later, we will always look like the people we are moving with. God’s word says, he that walks with the wise shall be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20). This means that what we gain from the surroundings of our associates has a very strong influence upon our life. If a man walks with people who don’t know or appreciate joy, he may not also experience joy. We read about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Since two of them carry unique children of divine significance, they both have the Spirit of God in them. This brings about a joyful effect. As soon as Elizabeth heard the voice of Mary, the baby leaped for joy. You therefore need to understand that the richest place you need to seek to be is where God’s children are gathe...

HE CALLS YOU

HE CALLS YOU

Scripture Reading: Matthew 11:25-30
Devotional:- “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (V. 29) NKJV  


    Everyone who has found the saving grace of Christ has also been called to serve the Lord. He has ordained all of us as His vessel of honour (1 Peter 2:9). Though, we are individually called to do different things in the body of Christ. Yet, all are to serve, to bring glory and honour to Him (1 Corinthians 10:31). That is why you must not exempt yourself.

Jesus called us all to serve Him. He said “we should take His yoke upon us. He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Yet, it is a yoke. It is a yoke with Him. To serve Him and partake of His honour. To take someone’s yoke with you means to connect with Him in His assignment. 

This is an open calling that Christ has given to everyone who believes and you are not exempted. It is not until you have a title. The biggest title in the kingdom of God is to be a son of God (1 John 3:1). You are entitled to His honour because He has called you from the day you were saved (Hebrew 5:4). You have become a soul winner and an ambassador for Christ (Mark 16:18; 2 Corinthians 5:20). Don’t let anything stop you. Peace.     

PRAYER: Lord, help me to yield to your calling for my life

“IN YOUR CALLING IS YOUR HONOUR”

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.

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.
