  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...

HOW POTENT IS PRAISE

HOW POTENT IS PRAISE

Scripture Reading: Psalms 92:1-4
Devotional:- It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; (V.1) NKJV

    One of the greatest strength missing in the life of many children of God is Praises and thanksgiving. Because of the idolatry background of some people, their view of God is still very religious. God is the author of religion but He has left that longest time and people are still deep in it. The time has come for us to get real with God. 

One of the practices of men that is greatly potent in God is praises and thanksgiving. When a man chooses to live a life style of praises to God, he will begin to see the true blessing of God (Psalm 67:5-7) Praises is thanking God for who He has been to you. Praises is celebrating God’s faithfulness to His word and promises in your life (Psalm 56:4). Thanksgiving is acknowledging the goodness of God in our lives. Thanksgiving is also appreciating God ahead of what you expect Him to do (John 6:10-11).

You need to know that praises is far more potent than prayer. It is the angel of the Lord that often attend to the prayer of the Saints, but God Himself attend to the praises of His people. An example is when Peter was in the prison and the church prays, then God sent His angel (Act 12:5-11). But when Paul and Silas praise God in the prison. The place shook and all chains were loosed (Act 16:24-26, Psalms 22:3). This is the manifestation of the presence of God. As you take to the life of praises you will begin to experience this from now in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a praiseful heart

“A LIFE STYLE OF FAITH WILL MAKE GOD TO ALWAYS BE WITH YOU”

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.
