  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...

DISCOURAGEMENT ​​​

Scripture Readings: 1 Samuel 30:1-8
Devotional:- “Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters.But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God” (v. 6) NKJV

    The strength of every child of God is in courage of faith. That is why God told Joshua to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6). The opposite of courage is discouragement. The devil having known that your strength for victory and progress is in courage will always want to discourage you.

Sometimes, when we are discouraged, it looks like that is the right thing to do at that moment. But it is not true in any way. Whenever you are getting discouraged, it is the trick is of the enemy to destroy your strength. When David and his people got back to Ziklag, they were discouraged by what they saw. Thank God, one them encouraged himself to take the right step (1 Samuel 30:6).

Friend, whatever reasons you are getting discouraged; it is the trick of the enemy to destroy your strength. Even when you don't find anyone to encourage you, please encourage yourself. When there is life, there is hope. Do you know that the followers of David was about to stone him? Thank God he encouraged himself. Friend, don't allow the devil to destroy your strength in God. Brace up, God's love for you is unshakable. His plans concerning you cannot fail. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to pick back my courage in you.

“CELEBRATE HIS PROMISES AND YOU WILL PICK BACK YOUR COURAGE”

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.
