  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

MURMUR NOT

MURMUR NOT

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:6-11
Devotional:- Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. (V. 10) KJV

    So many people love the praises of God and yet they are specialist in murmuring. The truth is that you cannot be murmuring and be praiseful. You need to know that been praiseful means, you are celebrating the goodness and the greatness God. Murmuring means you are complaining that God is not good to you. So, show me how they can work together.

When some finish dancing and praising God in the church and on the way, they start to murmur again. This is common with people because they see their needs not met as they expected. This make people unconsciously start to complain. This can happen to anybody irrespective of status. We must grow above of this because God hate it.

The children of Israel murmur against God and they were destroyed. Please note that whenever you are murmuring, you are doing it against God. Anytime the urge to murmur comes up, just switch to praises. Stop comparing yourself with anyone. You only have a classmate or age mate and not a life mate. Each one’s season in life is different (2 Corinthians 10:12). Stop been intimidated by other people’s achievements. Your season will surely come (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Then you will be promoted before the Lord. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a matured heart not to murmur again.

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 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.
