NOT AUTOMATIC

  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...

ASSURANCE

ASSURANCE

Read: John 2: 1 -10 
Devotional:- “And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “they have no wine” (V.3). 

    Faith is assurance.  To be assured is to have a strong supportive notion that confirms that the expected is certain. When people lack assurance they cannot but doubt. The characteristic of assurance is peace. When you are assured you will be at rest. People who have insurance are always confident how much more people with an assurance. 

In the scripture we read today, Jesus and His mother attended a marriage party. Suddenly in the middle of the party the wine finished. It must have been at a time they cannot go out to buy wine so there was much worry by the people who don’t want to be disgraced. But the mother of Jesus was assured that Jesus would do something. Can Jesus do something about your matter? Certainly, if you believe (Mark 9:23). So she went and informed Jesus of the situation and there was a miracle. 

If you go to Jesus with an assurance there will always be a miracle. The certainty or assurance is produced by our knowledge of Him that we meditate on and He will never fail. It’s your turn to see Him. 

PRAYER: Lord, increase my faith in you. 

“YOUR ASSURANCE WILL ALWAYS BIRTH YOUR CONFIDENCE”

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.
