SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

UNGODLY FELLOWSHIP

UNGODLY FELLOWSHIP

Scripture Reading: Judges 16:11-22
Devotional:- “And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!" But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him” (v. 20) NKJV

    There is a factor that will always have a strong influence on human being which is fellowship. The group of people or community you are fellowshipping with will go a long way to determine your life result positively or negatively. Every man draw strength or weaknesses from the kind of fellowship they attend (Psalms 1:1-3; Proverbs 13:20).

The influence of fellowship on us is so strong because we are social being. We are created to influence each other. Samson was not careful of the ungodly fellowship he was having with the philistines. It was this ungodly fellowship that destroys the anointing of God upon his life.

Please understand that the devil will always take advantage of whatever you over celebrate outside Christ. Relationship or friendship is a great way God has made for us to socialize. It helps us to cross bread ideas and influence ourselves. That is why you must understand how to manage a relationship that brings you and an unbeliever together often. Please define the purpose for which you are in that fellowship or association. Always keep to the purpose. Refuse to be negativity influenced by their reasoning of the way of God (1 King 11:1-11). Beware. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the tricks of ungodly fellowship 

“UNGODLY FELLOWSHIP IS A CHEAP WAY TO LOSE STRENGTH”

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.
