PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

GROWING THE NATURE OF GOD.

GROWING THE NATURE OF GOD. 

Romans 8:5-13
Devotional:- “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (V. 13)

    It should be clear to all believers in Christ that what is not growing is dying. Just as righteousness is the nature of God, if anyone is not growing the nature of God such will be unconsciously growing the carnal nature (Romans 8:5-8). That is why the Bible says to be carnally minded is dead. This death is not extinguishing but separation from God. Death in the Hebrew language means separation. It is therefore the responsibility of each Christian to grow the nature of God in their life. 

To be able to grow the nature of God in us demands three things. It demands that we daily fellowship with God in studying His word, in worship and prayers. It demands that we keep mortifying i.e. put to death the carnal nature in us. Thirdly, it demands that we put on the mindset of the nature of God (Romans 8:4-6). 

Friends, to have the mindset of righteousness demands that we daily fellowship with God (Genesis 17:1). If anyone one does not create time daily to fellowship with Jesus, he/she cannot be a Christian (Matthew 7:21). The reason there are wicked people in Church today who will not forgive nor love, haters and slanderers, is that many are not committed to growing the nature of God (Jeremiah 5:26). If you will reign with Christ in eternity, wake up. It is the nature of God in you that makes you a child of God and not title. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to start to grow your nature in me

“UNTIL YOU HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD YOU CAN NOT BEHAVE LIKE GOD”

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.
