VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

IN CHRIST  

Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:11 
Devotional:- “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (V3)NKJV

    When the Bible says we are in Christ, it means, we are putting on the nature of Christ Jesus. This demands a strong commitment on our side to abide in Him. To live in Christ is to be committed to do His will in all that we do. When we become committed to be in Christ, the Holy Spirit is always available to help us. 

God’s word says, as children of the living God, our life is hidden in Christ in God. This is putting on Christ. This is wearing the righteousness nature of God. When we abide in Him, then anytime God sees us, He doesn’t see our human nature that is not qualify to stand before Him, rather He see His nature (His righteousness). That is why He can hear our prayers and our worship. 

In the other way, the righteousness of God makes devil and his host not to touch us (Job 1:8-10). This is because when they see us, they see Jesus and not us. That is why your life is untouchable for the devil (Zechariah 2:5). This is the reason you must be committed to a life of righteousness. It is too dangerous to be out of Christ. Keep your consistency with Christ and your life will be preserved here and eternity. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be out of you.

“TO BE IN CHRIST IS TO BE OUT OF REACH OF THE ENEMY”

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.
