  CELEBRATION 2 Chronicles 30:21-27 Devotional:- “So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem” (v.26) NKJV When we make ourselves available for the service of the Lord, we plug our lives into joy. This is because we are actually created to serve the Lord (Revelation 4:11). And when anyone finds himself doing what he is created to do, he finds fulfilment. The children of Israel in the time of Hezekiah, the king, gathered together to celebrate the feast of Passover. This was one of the feasts God commanded. This celebration is an opportunity to serve the Lord. They came together to yield in obedience to God’s instruction, and this produced great joy among them. Some cooking, some cleaning and others involved in other things just to make the feast successful. See, you need to know that you are not just created to go to school, work, earn, build a house, buy cars, have a wife, childre...

THE SOUL

1 Peter 2:18-25
Dev:  “For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”  (Vs. 25)

    There are two forces that govern the souls of people. They are the forces of God and of the devil. These forces have no right to force themselves on you, till you give your soul to them. (Revelation 3:20). This is because you are made a free moral agent. Unconsciously to most people who don't consciously give their soul to God, they do not know that they have given it to the devil through sin (1 John 3:8-10, Romans 6:16)

A greater percentage of people in most churches today have not consciously given their soul to God. They only assume they are children of God. People think been a child of God is when you bear Christian name and go to church once a while. They have one day lifted up their hands in the church as a sign of coming to Jesus. But this is making a covenant they do not keep.

Friend, your soul was made by God (Genesis 2:7) But the forces of the devil is doing all in their power to possess it (1   Peter 2:11). All he needs to do is to make you live as you like and not just as God instruct (Matt 7:21-22). If your soul will be for God, you must consciously hand it over to Jesus, see him as the owner by you fearfully obeying Him to do whatever he instructs you to do. Peace. 

PRAYER- Lord, I receive grace to totally commit my soul to you.

“YOUR SOUL IS SOLD TO WHOM YOU OBEY”

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.

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.

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.
