  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

OBEDIENCE

OBEDIENCE

Read: Luke 5:1-10 
Devotional:- “But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net” (V.5) 

    If we shall see the great power of God in our life, if we shall become a point of reference to the mighty works of God, if we shall become God’s vessel to turn the world around, then we must embrace obedience to God’s instruction. Often time when God speaks to us, our mind queries His instruction. They don’t look reasonable but they are powerful. 

In the scripture we read today, Jesus used Peter’s ship to minister to people and after the ministration He asked him to launch his net to the deep for fishes. This is because God will not owe anyone the reward of service. But Peter complained of how long they’ve been toiling without result. He was only willing to do it to satisfy Jesus and he met a miracle. 

Friend, why don’t you take to the instruction of God concerning your situation? Stop reasoning God’s word with your mind (Job 9:4). The mystery behind His word is more than our reasoning capacity (Isaiah 55:8-11). The wise will simply obey the Lord (Matthew 7:24). What is He asking you to do for His kingdom or His servants? What is He asking you to do concerning your business and studies? Go ahead and please the Lord and as you do it, you will see tremendous power of God for breakthroughs. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always obey you. 

“OBEDIENCE TO GOD WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO THE NEXT MIRACLE”

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.
