  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

DISCOURAGEMENT

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”

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 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.
