  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

SANCTIFICATION

 SANCTIFICATION 

Scripture Reading: John 17:13-19
Devotional:- “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth” (V. 19

    To be sanctified is to be set apart as holy unto the Lord. If any child of God shall remain in the righteousness of Christ, he must be sanctified unto the Lord. This is an act of seeing self as separated and different from the commons to the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

To be sanctified is not to start to live an isolated life but to see ourselves different from the worldly (John 15:19; John 17:15-16). We are different because the Spirit in us is different to the one in the world (1 John 3:8-9; Romans 8:9). So, we are able by the help of the Holy Spirit to bear the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

To be sanctified is possible when a child of God is studying and meditating on the word of God regularly (Psalm119:9). It is as we purge our mind by the word of God (Ephesians 5:26) and our mind stored the word that our thought and talk become different by the word of God (John 17:17-19). If anyone call him/herself a child of God and does not study the word of God, he cannot have the behaviour of God. He will compromise at the face of persecution. Only those who are sanctified unto God are children of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be sanctified unto you.

“IT IS SANCTIFICATION THAT HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE CLOTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”

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.
