FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

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.
