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...

PERSEVERANCE

PERSEVERANCE

Scripture Reading: Romans 5:1-5
Devotional:- “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;” (V. 3)


    Every God’s vessel must be willing to persevere. It is only those who can persevere that can prevail. Most good achievements need tenacity and endurance. Every great achievement have painful endurance. All God’s vessel must therefore learn to persevere.

The word of God says; perseverance produces character. To persevere is to stay in pursuit of a goal, though, it looks not working. Most good ventures will always want to proof difficult or even impossible. In the cause of a man persevering, i.e. determined to stay through, he will pick many lessons and develop new characters. This is the beauty of persevering. Desperate and temperamental people cannot grow.

Friend, in what God has given you to do, there is a need to stay through to the end. That is the way to become real man or woman. Staying in our pursuit will make us experience man in his diversity. It will teach us not to depend on people. It will teach us ways to understand with people in their situations and their level of weaknesses. We will see real and genuine people in their challenges and make us appreciate God for our lives. Then we will become rich and strong in our hope in God. Peace.

PPRAYER: Lord, give me a persevering spirit.

“ONLY THOSE WHO CAN PERSEVERE CAN BE REAL 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.
