  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

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”.

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 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.
