GREATEST FATHER

  GREATEST FATHER John 20:11-18 “Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” (V.17) NKJV   Though there is a great number of males in the world today, there are few true fathers. Men who can be referred to as good fathers are rare. This is the reason for the breeding of terrible children in today's homes. Many children don’t even know what it is to have a father. That is why when God is referred to as our father, it does not interest some of us in any form. We only look at Him as one of those absentee fathers in the world. In the scripture we read today, Jesus died and resurrected again and purchased us back to God by His blood. The first person He met after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene. He was glad to share with Mary the good news of God becoming our Father through His death. He probably would have expecte...

HE TEACHES

John 14:25-31
Devotional:- “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (V. 26)

    Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to teach us all things. This is not limited to Bible but all things that are edifying for our journey on earth. This is possible because He knows all things (1 Corinthians 2:10, 13). This is possible because it is the spirit that can truly educate our mind to light of understanding (Job 32:8).

Whatever anyone teaches you, either in school or anywhere, you cannot understand till there is an inspiration by the Spirit to illuminate your heart. That is why, it is not all that we read or heard that we do, though they will make us better in life. Your brain can only be brought to realm of better light by the kind of spirit that is in you (1 Corinthians 2:9-13; Daniel 2:27-28). That is why people without the Holy Spirit are said to work in darkness (Isaiah 60:2).

When a teaching is not spiritually thought, understanding it will not be possible. That is, very many things that we are thought may not be understood (Job 32:8; John 6:63). And when our mind cannot handle something, we just throw it away. That is why we learn valuable things and not do anything about it. The Holy Spirit is a great teacher. He will show you in clear terms (John 6:63) Information will become meaningful and more useful to you when the Holy Spirit teaches (John 16:12). And life will be more progressive. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to pay attention to you for my understanding in all things

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.
