  SPECIAL CHILDREN Proverbs 23:15-25  Devotional:- “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day” (V.17) NKJV Today, the lives of children in most nations are becoming a great trouble. Many parents have lost control of their children. But in the midst of these hopeless situations of the future generation, yet some children allow the word of God to rule their lives, such children have the fear of God in them. These are children who keep a wise heart and who have learnt the right use of their lips. Who don’t open their lip to speak just anything but the truth and wisdom (Proverbs 23:16). These are children who don’t envy the way of sin, nor do they get themselves involved in the sinful nature of this generation. Rather, they fear the Lord, and this affects everything they do (Proverbs 23:17). Most of the youths of this day go into untimely relationships and cheating everywhere because of fear of failure and fear of tomorrow. But these p...

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”

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.
