  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

GRATITUDE

GRATITUDE

Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:12-17 
Devotional:- "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful". (V. 15) NKJV


    Gratitude is an act of been grateful. As beautiful as gratitude could be, it is a virtue that is so scarce among the sons of men. This is because of the proud nature of our hearts. This is because of our selfish intension or motives.

Ingratitude in the presence of God is a great sin (Romans 1:21). Ingratitude is a product of a futile heart. This is a heart that is not patient enough to diligently produce results. He is too desperate to see what God is doing, so, always complaining (1 Corinthians 10:10). Ingratitude is pride. Ingratitude is an affliction of the devil to stagnate a soul and punish the destiny. Only the fools are ungrateful. This will only leave a soul in darkness and confusion (Romans 1:21).

Friend, for any life to become productive, such must be grateful to God in all situations (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This demands much humility and sincerity. This demands the understanding that God is good to you all the way. If any expectation is yet to come, they will come and God is not to be blamed. Face the reality and stop blaming anyone. He keeps you when you and your family sleeps. He provide for you in time of need. He heals you and your family. He open doors of help for you. Humble yourself to praise Him always. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always be grateful to you.

“ONLY THE GRATEFUL HAVE CONTINUOS GRACE FOR GREATNESS”

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.
