MATURE CLASS

  MATURE CLASS I Corinthians 13:9-13 Devotional:- “When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things” (v.11) NLT I have observed that it is not everyone that can truly love. This is because it is a character for a person in a class. I have seen some men taking pride in beating their wives. I have heard many women proudly saying that they cannot stay under any man. And they do not feel ashamed that at their age, they couldn’t manage a home. The truth is that, if you cannot rise and manage a home, it is a sign that you cannot manage a greater thing that God would have loved to give to you (1 Timothy 3:5). When people give excuses of the reason why they cannot love, you will easily recognise their immaturity. Friend, you should feel ashamed if there is always noise of a fight coming from your apartment. And so many times, people, including the pagans, often come around to judge you and people, bashing and mocking...

GRIEVE NOT

Ephesians 4:25-32
Devotional:- “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (v. 30) 

    Every believer need to take this precaution regularly not to grieve the Holy Spirit. We should always fear the Lord (Proverbs 1:7). We should realize that we are highly privilege to have the Holy Spirit dwell in us (2 Corinthians 4:7). Holy Spirit can only dwell in us because we have dedicated our lives to God. Now that He dwells in us, we have become the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17). Remember God is a jealous God.

To grieve the Holy Spirit is to disobey His order repeatedly. It is to frankly look down on His way and wisdom. It is to honour the way of men and of the word and disrespect the way of God. These and more are what we do to grieve the Holy Spirit.

When a man grieves the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will be inactive in the man. The Holy Spirit will no longer be part of his decisions anymore. This is what happens when we observe we are weak in the spirit or we are not flowing in the spirit (Psalms 51:10-12). When you observe this, please cry to God for mercy and restoration. He will have mercy on you when you repent. And there shall be restoration. Peace!

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, restore my relationship with you today

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.
