PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

THE LORD

THE LORD 

1 Peter 3:1-6
Dev: “as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.”  (vs. 6)

     Most believers are not truly aware that they have not consider the implication of having a Lord. So many people think Jesus is their Lord and it is not so. They think Jesus is their Lord because they attend a church or because they bear Christian names or because they are born into a Christian family or because they have church titles. But none of these make people to have Jesus as their Lord. Some think because they confess Jesus as their Lord when they first believe or because they always sing it as songs. But none of these are true. That is why Jesus said it's not all who call or see me as their Lord that will inherit my father’s kingdom (Matt 7:21-23) 

For Jesus to be your Lord you must consciously make this decision from the heart (Rom 10:8-10). This is because a lord is someone that has total control over every aspect of your life. A Lord is someone you must not disobey. He approves and disapproves all your decisions (Proverbs 3:5-6) A lord is someone you have sold yourself to as a slave and you have made him your master, and you are to always submitting to him (Matthew 10:25, Luke 5:5, John 13:16)

     It is important you ask yourself if Jesus is your Lord. If Jesus is not a lord over a soul then that person has another lord it is the devil (John 8:44). There are only two lords, Jesus and the devil. Friend it's time to make up your mind who will be the Lord of your soul (Rom 6:16) Just like Sarah chose Abraham as her lord, chose Jesus as your Lord. Peace.

Prayer: Lord help me to truly choose you as my Lord.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
