  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...

SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

SPIRIT OF HOLINESS

Romans 1:1-7
Devotional:- “and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (V. 4)

    The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Holiness. Without the Holy Spirit no man will be able to walk perfectly before the Lord. Our mind cannot walk in the way of holiness without the help of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 8:4-8). That is why no man will be able to stand before the Holy God without the Holy Spirit. The word of God says “nothing unholy will be allowed before God (Hebrews 12:14). He is an holy God (1 Peter 1:15-16). And the Holy Spirit is a spirit of Holiness.

The Holy Spirit work in submissive believer to make him or her holy. This is by guiding into all truth (John 16:13). This He does by leading us into the will of God. Whenever we obey the leading of the Holy Spirit, we please the Lord (Romans 8:14). That is why as believer, we must allow the leading of the Holy Spirit over all our activities.

This is very important because there is nothing unholy that will enter heaven (Revelation 22:15). When the Holy Spirit is directing your way, He will only direct you to Holy decision (Psalms 23:1-3). Even if He leads you into what looks unacceptable to you or people around you, it will still be acceptable to God. Example is when Jesus cane people out of the temple and turn their table (Matthew 21:12-13; Romans 8:33-34). That is why only the Holy Spirit can make Holy before God. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me t walk with you to be holy

“HOLINESS IS ONLY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT”

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.
