  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

DISOBEDIENCE

DISOBEDIENCE 

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:11-20
Devotional: - But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken” (v. 20) NKJV


    One of the factors that can destroy the strength of anyone is disobedience to God. The reason why people easily disobey God is because they can not understand the ways of God. Such only depend on the physical to determine their actions. But the way of God is not mostly physical.

This is the reason the children of God need to know their God. He is not a physical God. You cannot understand the way of God by listening to the argument of your unbelieving friends. He cannot be revealed to you in your quest for Ph.D. You cannot calculate God in your brain. He cannot be found in the way of argument. His word reveals Him and His spirit helps us to understand Him.

A natural man will always see the ways of God unreasonable, so, he will always disobey the Lord (1Samuel 15:22-23). What you don't understand, you cannot jump into it any how. This is the reason people disobey the Lord. Disobedience will always remove the strength of God from the life of anyone. You cannot see the forces of God with your physical eye. That is why you must learn to obey God by faith (Romans 1:17). Only wise people obey God (Matthew 7:24). Choose the way of obedience to God and you will keep winning (Leviticus 26:6-8). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace of continuous obedience.

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

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.
