  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

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.

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.
