  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

FEAR​​​​

Scripture Reading: Numbers 13:26-33
Devotional:- There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight" (v.33) NKJV


    One of the instruments that destroy the strength of man is fear. Man will be afraid when he has no clue of the forces confronting him. Or when he has wrong information about the forces confronting him. Anyone can be afraid when he/she is intimidated by the forces against (2 Chronicles 32:10-15). Anyone will surely be afraid when he/she look down on him/herself and rate the enemy to be greater.

This was the case of the children of Israel. They rated the Anak bigger than themselves. They do not see the greatness of the God with them who does many wonders in Egypt to set them free: Who parted the Red Sea, The God who conquer the whole army of Egypt in the sea. They forget how He gave them food and meat for 40 years. They do not remember the testimony of God using just 318 armies in the house of Abraham to defeat a whole King and his troupe (Genesis 14:5-14). They became afraid and could not enter their promise land.

Friend, the great I am is in you (1 John 4:4). Stop been afraid of what is confronting you. The truth is that you are bigger than that need or challenge. Knowing your God will restore your strength. And you will arise and win. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to see you above my challenge always.

“YOUR EMOTION WILL KEEP BEEN AT THE MERCY OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE”

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.
