VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

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.
