  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...

BAPTISM

BAPTISM

Act 2:1-12
Devotional:- “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (v. 4) NKJV

    For anyone to start to experience the benefit and the blessings of the Holy Spirit, he/she must experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said to the disciples that they have to wait till they were baptized with the Holy Spirit (Act 1:5-8). Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an experience in filling of the Holy Spirit. It is to be immersed into the spirit and the spirit into you (John 15:5). 

This is an experience of the Holy Spirit filling you up. This was the encounter that the apostles experienced that gave them a total turn around in their life and ministry. If any believer has not experienced this, he/she may not be experiencing the blessing of the Lord.

To be baptized in the Holy Spirit, you must take time out to ask Him to fill you up and He will fill you up (Luke 11:13). It demands a thirsty heart (John 7:37-39). It demand faith in God's faithfulness (Luke 11:13) When the Holy Spirit has filled you up you will experience speaking an unknown tongue (Act 2:4). A believer that is filled with the spirits needs a continuous filling and refilling (Act 2:4; 4:31). Peace.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill me afresh today.

“UNTIL A MAN IS BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE CAN NOT BE CALLED A SON OF GOD”

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.
