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...

SURE WORD

SURE WORD

Read: 2 Peter 1: 16 -21
Devotional:- “We have also a more sure word of prophesy: whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts” (V.19) KJV.


    Faith will not yet be faith until it found a strong substance of assurance in the heart of a man. Faith is truly an action but basically dependent on a certainty. In other word, the more certain a promise is to you, the stronger your faith will be. No one will have a certain or sure word that will not believe. I love to let you know that God’s word is the surest foundation for which you can bet your life. 

The scripture we read today says, “We have also a sure word of prophesy…” The weight of a man’s promise is determined by the measure of his faithfulness. We know that God He is a faithful God (1 Thessalonians 5:24). This has been proved from generations to generation. If His promises are not coming to pass in your life, then you must have doubted His word (James 1: 6 -8). 

He was faithful to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He cannot fail you if you put your total trust in His word. No matter how tough the situation may be, as you rest on His sure word to the end, He will turn them to testimonies and you will see the glory of God. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to depend totally on your word. 

“SURE RESULT IS ONLY GUARANTEED WHEN BUILT ON SURE WORD”
