THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

PURSUE HOLINESSS

Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:12-17
Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (V. 14) NKJV


    Holiness is the standard of God’s attitude. That is why the Bible says that “God is a Holy God” (Leviticus 19:2). Holiness is perfection. It is living without a blemish. It is living a life of total surrendered life unto God. This is a life that is always obedience unto God in all things. It is a life totally separated and sanctified unto God (Romans 12:1). 

Surely, this is not an experience expected from a baby Christian. Yet, it is expected from a mature Christian. The word of God says “nothing unholy will enter heaven” (Revelation 21:8). And, if heaven is our destination, then we must pursue to live a life of holiness unto God. To pursue is to run after something (1 Peter 1:15). It is to set it as a goal and work toward it. We are not to put it aside thinking that it is not possible. 

Friend, you and I will need to pursue holiness to see God. To pursue means, to make it our target. To always aim at it. While we are yet to get there, we don’t relax. We make it part of our life race. So that, we can be an acceptable vessel to God. We must be careful not to fall short of the grace of God. We must flee from bitterness and pursue peace with people and holiness. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to keep pursuing peace and holiness.

“IT IS WHAT YOU KEEP PURSUING THAT WILL KEEP PURSUING YOU”

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.

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.
