CHILDREN OF GOD

  CHILDREN OF GOD I John 3:1-3  Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V.1) NKJV One of the unique things on earth is that, each one belongs to one family or the other. Some are from a great family, their name sounds great, and others are from a family that is not well-known. The truth is that, the lineage each of us belongs to, sometimes speaks and shows in our live. Those who are seen as children of great people in the world are often counted as privileged. But the scripture we read today is aimed at making you appreciate the privilege of being a child of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are born into a great family on earth or not. God has decided to bestow His love on you by calling you His child (Galatians 4:7). This is the greatest family in heaven and earth. The moment you are born again, you are born of God (John 1:12). Not of...

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

Scripture Reading: Matthew 22:1-14
Devotional:- “So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless” (V12)

    It is important that you know that the righteousness of God given to us as a gift through Jesus must be kept clean to the end. Yes, this garment of righteousness is given to us through our faith in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8-9), yet, it is the responsibility of each of us to maintain it that we might reign with Christ when He returns (Rev.3:4, Rev. 19:8)

Though, the garment of the righteousness of God has been given to us at Salvation, yet, it can be lost (Romans 6:1). So you must keep it clean. To keep the righteousness, you must choose to keep obeying the word of God (Psalm 119:9). Daniel and his friend in Babylon decided not to defile themselves with the food dedicated to idols (Daniel 1:8). So, you and I must constantly make choices of obeying the word of God in this pervert world (Matthew 7:21-23).

Friend, our Salvation and righteousness is paid for, but it can be lost if not maintained with obedience to the word of God (Isaiah 1:20). It is obedience to God that grows the nature of God in us. Remember, whatever is not growing is dying. If you will keep growing the nature of God which is righteousness, you must deliberately choose to walk daily with God (Genesis 17:1). That is why no one can call himself a Christian before God if he is not studying the word of God. It is knowledge that empowers us to act in accordance to the word of God (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:9, 11; Proverbs 24:5) Give yourself to studying the word of God (Joshua 1:8). Create a heart of love for the word till it becomes your life style (Psalm 119:97). Then you will find grace to keep obeying the word (John 14:15). You will not lose your garment in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to love your word and be a doer of it

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.
