COMPARISM

  COMPARISM 2 Corinthians 10:7-18 Devotional:- “Oh, don't worry; we wouldn't dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!” (v.12) NLT. Man, by his complexity, sometimes creates complications for himself in life. One of the things we often do incorrectly is to measure our lives by comparing them to other people’s lives. We often forget that we are sent for a different purpose, so our goals and objectives cannot be the same. There is nothing wrong with trying to gauge your level of performance against others in the same field. But it will be completely wrong for you to determine whether you are a failure or a success by the life of another man. Paul, the apostle of Christ, knows that his own purpose and program are from the Lord and are different from what others have been given. For example, if some apostles were marr...

ETERNAL SPIRIT

Hebrews 9:11-15
Devotional:- “how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?“ (V. 14)

    The Holy Spirit is eternal. That is, He has been before any other spirit existed and He will continue to be, when there is no other Spirit. This means He is older and greater than any other spirit in existence. He is the Spirit of the eternal God who has been in existence in the dateless past and will continue to be when there will be no more time or calendar.

The Holy Spirit is the giver of eternal life (John 6:53-54) only those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit have eternal life. Eternal life is God's kind of life. There are animal lives, and there are human lives and there is God’s life. The God’s kind of life is what is referred to as eternal life. That is why Jesus offered himself through the eternal Spirit. Only the eternal Spirit can defile death and make a man to be back to life (Romans 8:11). This is because eternal life can not be terminated by death.

Friend, without the Holy Spirit, rapture or resurrection to go with Christ will be impossible. That is why you can't just play with the issue of the Holy Spirit the giver of eternal life (John 7:37-39, John 3:16) Let him rule over your heart and eternal life will begin with you from now till eternity. Peace!

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me never to miss your eternal life

“IF THE HOLY SPIRIT RAISES JESUS FROM THE DEAD, HE WILL RAISE YOU UP AT THE TRUMPET”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
