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...

NO CONDEMNATION

NO CONDEMNATION 

Scripture Reading: Romans 8:1-4
Devotional:- “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (V.1)

    A major weapon the devil uses against many Christians today is condemnation. Condemnation is an act of making someone to feels unfit to stand before God. This is where the devil is a specialist (Revelation 12:10). He does this by reminding people of their past mistakes and errors before God and making man feel that God has forgotten him.

The word of God says “if a man be in Christ, there is no more condemnation for him” This is possible when we keep growing in the nature of God and no more in the flesh (Romans 8:1).This is possible when we always call to mind that Jesus shed His blood to pay for our righteousness in God. The consciousness of this gives us the courage to stand before God and to resist the forces of condemnation.

Friend, no condemned person can stand to receive anything from God. The word of God said “we should cone boldly to the throne of Grace” (Hebrew 4:16). It is then we can obtain mercy for help. If you live consciously in the righteousness purchased for you on the Cross and keep obeying His words, you will live above condemnation. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to live above condemnation.

“A CONDEMNED SOUL IS NOT FIT TO STAND BEFORE 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 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.
