  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...

WAITING ON THE LORD

WAITING ON THE LORD

Read: Luke 2:21–33 
Devotional:- “And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.” (V.25) 

    One of the acts of faith that moves God is our ability to wait on Him. This is faith, since God made the promise; I must wait to see the fulfillment. I discovered that there is a power that can stop death and that is faith. humanity has not fully understood that they determines their lot on earth. Whether to die or to live is your choice no matter the situation (Deuteronomy 30:19). So you can wait for as long as you desire to see God’s glory. 

The man we read about today was an old man named Simeon. God promised that he will see the Messiah and he waited based on this promise until it was fulfilled. Job said, I refuse to die until I see my change (Job 14:14). David said I shall not die but live to witness His testimony (Psalm 118:17).

Friend, don’t let life drive you to destruction of death of any kind. Wait upon the promises of God for your life, family or business. The moment you assume the state of waiting on God’s word in your mind, all destruction and death shall be suspended and the strength of your health, career, studies and business shall be renewed (Isaiah 40:31). When you learn the mystery of waiting on the Lord, you have learnt the mysteries of becoming younger as though you are starting afresh. No matter what the case may be, never you give up, wait on the Lord and death shall be suspended from your life. 

Declaration: I will wait till I see my change. 

“DON’T LET YOUR THOUGHT TRICK YOU INTO CONCLUSION, NEVER GIVE UP”

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.
