HE NEVER CONDEMNS

  HE NEVER CONDEMNS John 8:1-11  Devotional:- “She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more”” (V. 11) NKJV One of the tricks the devil often used against man is to make us feel condemned. To be condemned is a feeling of self-judgment. It is the act of judging oneself to death when God has not. A man with condemnation cannot be bold or courageous. He cannot exercise faith. He cannot take a risk and so cannot find it easy to succeed. The truth is that God does not condemn man. So it is like man to feel condemned, and it is the handiwork of the devil. It was said about Jesus, “for God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him might be saved” (John 3:17).  God has appointed Jesus to judge the earth. But that is not now. Condemnation is a feeling that one has been written off and is not worthy of living anymore. The only people who will face God’s final condemnation are those who refused to...

PRAISES

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 2:4-10
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


    Giving praises to God is an act of appreciating God for whom He has been to you. That makes praises personal a lot of the time. What God has been to you may be different from what He has been to me. For you He is a healer right now, for another He is a deliverer. That is why God is praise from the beginning to the end of every day (Psalm 113:3)

When you consider His daily work in your life, your sleeping and walking up, your going out and coming back in peace, your heart should give Him praises. God commanded us to always praise Him (Psalm 67:3). That is why when you are not praising Him, you are proud and sinning.

We are saved that we might show forth His praises (1 Peter 2:9). We also need to be praiseful to Him for keeping to His words and promises in our lives (Psalm 56:4). Stop complaining or grumbling. That will lead to stagnation (1 Corinthians 10:10)

Friend, when you can humble yourself to always praise Him, then you will start to see the power of praises. That is why David said I will praise Him at all times (Psalm 34:1). He said seven times a day do I praise thee (Psalm 119:164). As you choose to live a life of praises, you will begin to see His glory manifest in all areas of your life. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises always be in my mouth

“YOU CAN’T BE PRAISEFUL AND BE TENSED UP AT THE SAME TIME”

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.
