MANDATE OF VICTORY

  MANDATE OF VICTORY Joshua 1:1-6 Devotional:- “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you” (V. 5) NKJV God has no plan or programme of failure or defeat for you. He made all things available for your victory. Many of us have not come to an awareness that we are not here on our own. We are here for God. You are created by God. Packaged and sent to this world to manifest for Him (Isaiah 43:21). So God has a lion's share in your failure if you fail and vis-à-vis if you succeed. So if you fail, He is not happy. He knows that you are going to face some forces that will challenge your life. This could be in the school, office, and in society. But He has written a decree of your victory before you begin the battle. So for a Christian, the battle of life is fixed. God, who is in the beginning and the end, has determined the winner. And that is you. He said no one shall be able to with...

EMBLEM OF TRUE SONS

Scripture Reading: 1 John 3:4-10
Devotional:- “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother” (V 10)

    It is important that every believer understand that for someone to have the nature of man, he must born of man. But for anyone to have the nature of God, they must be born of God. So, at salvation, the nature of God is giving to us. But it is the responsibility of each one to effectively keep their garment clean by practicing righteousness (Revelation 16:15).

To practice righteousness is to keep growing the nature of God in us and obeying the word of God. This demands our commitments to daily fellowship with God in studying His word and prayers. By this we will enjoy grace to do whatever God instruct us to do. Without the commitment, so many things will be used by the devil to attempt to dirty our garment of righteousness (John 15:4-7). Practicing righteousness is life of obedience to God (Matthew 7:21-23).

Friend, the word of God says “those who do not practice righteousness are not children of God”. This makes the issue of righteousness to be fundamental to all children of God. It exempts you from the evil agenda of the devil (Proverbs 11:8). It qualifies you for the blessings of the Lord because you align yourself with Him (Psalm 5:12). It makes you different and peculiar in this world of wickedness. Practicing righteousness is living in submission to obey the word of God. Only the righteous are truly children of God (Matthew 7:20-23). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, make me a continuous practitioner of your righteousness.

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.
