  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...

LADDER OF LIFTING

LADDER OF LIFTING 

Scripture Reading: Habakkuk 3:8-19
Devotional:- “The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills” (V. 19) NKJV


    Praises as it were, only truly come out of the mouth of the humble. Praises is not just singing. It is an act of humbling exhorting the Lord. It is not for those who want to please people or demonstrate that they are somebody. Singing with a good voice does not make you give praises to God. God sees your heart and not your mouth (1 Samuel 16:7).

When your heart is humble to give praises to God, you are creating a ladder for your lifting. This is because God has promised to lift up the humble (Matthew 18:4; Matthew 23:12). It is the pride of the heart that makes people get stagnated (Luke 14:11). God gives grace to the humble but move far away from the proud (James 4:6). That is why a praiseful believer will always enjoy lifting in all dimension.

Friend, this empty ego will take you to nowhere. Most people live their lives in pride to demonstrate to people that they are somebody. If you are somebody, you will not need to show it. Those who are somebody are really somebody. There is no need for show up. Those who show up are nobody. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and you will be promoted (1 Peter 5:6). Some cannot kneel down for God because their clothes is more important. Start to praise the Lord from a humble heart. Then your lifting will be inevitable. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a true humble heart to praise you.

“A HUMBLE PRAISE IS BETTER THAN THE BIGGEST CONCERT”

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.
