  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

PRIDE

Scripture Readings: Daniel 4:28-37
Devotional:- “That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws” (v. 33) NKJV


    One of the instruments of the devil to destroy people's strength is pride. Whatever reason a man is proud is not wisdom. The word of God says “when you see pride coming, a fall is bound to follow”. There is no height a man has attained that pride cannot bring him down. It brought Nebuchadnezzar to years of living like an animal (Daniel 4:33). It made the prodigal son to waste his father’s resources (Luke 15:13). Please be careful of pride.

As terrible as pride could be, it can happen to anyone who is not of understanding. That is why we need to know what causes pride. Pride is an emotional feeling in anyone who feels he/she is above others. Pride is a product of allowing people to place us on the throne of tissue papers. Pride is a feeling that we are bigger and greater than others. Anytime we feel this way, we need to careful (Proverbs 16:18).

People are able to rise up in life because they enjoy inspiration by revelation. All of these are giving by God (Job 32:8). If the understanding that brought lifting is removed in a day, that man will be confused and will start to fail. That is why a king that is ruling the whole world can become like an animal. Nothing can make us rise but the strength of the Lord. Refuse pride. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me never to be fooled into pride.

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.
