  LIFTING Psalms 75:1-10 Devotional:- “But God is the judge. He putteth down one and setteth up another.” (V. 7) KJV It is part of God’s act of love to lift up his own people. If you have a privilege be in an office, there is every tendency that you will want use your office to help and lift the people you love, so also is God. He is highly exalted. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the creator of heaven and earth. The bible calls Him the judge, in other word, He rules and decides the case of everyone in heaven and earth. So he is willing to lift you up as the one He loves. In the sovereignty of God, I have seen God demonstrating His love by lifting the unworthy. People like Joseph, David, Solomon, Paul the apostle and a host of others. If you as a child of God enjoy a status now it is part of His good gesture to you. And whatever level you are now, do not be discouraged, for He is still taking you higher. He took Joseph from the prison to the palace (Genesis 41:...

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.
