UNMOVED FAITH

UNMOVED FAITH Matthew 15:21-28 Devotional:- “And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (V.27) NKJV      Sometimes, by the principle of our response to life or obedience to God, we might not have been qualified for some things. But faith can qualify us. That is why Jesus said He has not come for the rich but that the poor may be rich. He has come to remove the barriers in the lives of people and to release them to their destiny.

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.
