  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...

HOLY SPIRIT

Read: John 16:5-15 
Devotional:- “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come (V.13)

    It should be settled in your heart that you are a spirit being. You are not just an ordinary flesh like mere animal. You are more than a mere biological being. Please know that one spirit or the other influences all human being. There are two major spirits that controls the human life; the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) or the un-holy spirit (The spirit of the enemy). No one is free from either of this spirit. No neutral ground and no vacuum. All of us have either of them. 

Jesus came to deliver man from un-holy spirit and to baptize us with the Holy Spirit and you can enjoy the same baptism (Matthew 3:11). It is not received just by going to the church but by asking for it (Luke 11:13). That is why many so called Christians are still with the spirit of the enemy. The truth is that no one is a child of God except the one that has His Spirit (Romans 8:14, 19). When you have the Holy Spirit you can easily use the weapon of God. 

To receive the Holy Spirit, you must desire it with a thirsty heart (John 7:37-38). Then create time to set yourself apart to ask for His filling and as you ask by faith, He will baptize you (Luke 11:13). That is, you will be full of God’s fullness. Notice that you are the one to open your mouth to speak. Speak and He will fill it (Psalm 81:10).

Prayer: Lord, baptize me with your Holy Spirit. 

“IT IS EITHER YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OR UN – HOLY SPIRIT”

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.
