FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

BE FILLED

Ephesians 5:15-21
Devotional:- “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit” (v. 18) NKJV

    To be filled of a spirit is to be totally taken over by that spirit. This is to be full of the Holy Spirit. When a man is full of the Holy Spirit, it means the man is totally taken over by the Spirit. It means, there is no room or space for other spirit in the life of that man.

The challenge with most Christians today is that, they feel they should not be one sided. They feel they should be filled with the Spirit of God and be filled with the spirit of the world. They do not know that the spirit of the world is the spirit of the devil (1 John 2:15-17). They think that way they are living a balance life. They don't consider the fact that the devil is looking for who to fill and possess. And that devil will not allow anyone to have him half way; he will take total control with time. To be filled with the Holy Spirit does not mean you are no longer going to live as human being. It is only that your mind is influenced by the Spirit of God alone.

This does not make you are a spiritist. To be a spiritist is totally wrong and demonic. This makes people lose their mind and control God gave you a mind and does not want to suspend it. He only want you to submit to His control so that other spirit will not gain control over you (Romans 6:16; Matthew 6:24). Even your social live will now be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Peace!

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to be total with you alone

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.
