SUBMIT TO HIM

  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

HAVING FAVOUR

Scripture Reading: Act 2:40-47
Devotional:- “praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (V. 47) NKJV

    A life of disfavored will always lack support and help. Disfavored is the opposite of favour. But this is not for a child of God. Our redemptive package is favour inclusive (Psalm 5:12). That is why the righteous cannot beg (Psalm 37:25). So, if you find a life of disfavor, then something is wrong somewhere. In most cases, it is inability to humbly praise God that hinder favour. In aability to humble yourself to praise God is a pointer to ingratitude. When people are ungrateful they have secret intimidation by the success of another person. When people are ungrateful they have secret fear of failure. 

In the first church, there is a record of tremendous favour. The Bible told us the secret, and that is praises. This is because, praises makes man to please God (Psalm 69:30-31). The daughter of Herodias danced before Herod and he was pleased to give her anything to the half of his kingdom (Mark 6:21-23).

Friend, if you want to enter into the realm of favour, the secret is praises. The first church was praising God, such that God was bringing them all into favour. That God is still the same. If you will also give yourself unto praises, you will start to experience favour. And there shall be no more disfavor in your life in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises never depart from my mouth.

“FAVOUR IS FOR THE HUMBLE AND PRAISEFUL”

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.
