THE REDEEMED

THE REDEEMED Galatians 3:10-14  Devotional:- “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (V. 13) KJV . Today, we children of God do not understand the meaning of redemption. And so it does not really have any meaningful impact on our lives. This is because it is only knowledge that brings about outstanding strength and makes a man stand over his enemy. Many Christians are building muscles instead of knowledge of our God to build our spirit and soul for victory (Daniel 11:32). Though we sing redemption and even bear it as a "knowledge is power name, yet we still find ourselves in bondage. Notice that prayer without knowledge is a religious exercise. Not only in this world but in the spirit realm. Our redemption is tickly packaged for our victory, but it will take the revelation of God’s word to unfold it for our use. God’s word says, “Christ has redeemed us,” which means He has paid th...

BE STRONG    

Ephesians 6:10-13
Devotional:- “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (v. 10) NKJV

   Victory in this world is not given just to the aged; it is given to the strong. Part of the New Testament covenant of God for believers is victory (1 john 5:4). But it is important that believers realised that strength is not what we acquire because we like it or not. It is a commandment of the Lord. God’s word says “Be strong in the Lord”, that is not a suggestion or an advice, it is a commandment.

It therefore means to choose weakness as a Christian is choice of disobedience to the Lord. Most of us have various genuine excuses why we don’t want to be strong in the Lord. This varies from office and business engagement to lack of time to grow in the Lord. But it is important that you realise that those excuses will not be tenable when battle of life rises.

Our scripture today shows us that we need to put on the whole armour of God, not some. These armors are itemised in the scripture we read today. Take time out to study each of them till you grow in them all. Some Christian only wants to grow their prayer life and not their word life; others want to grow business life and not their faith life. The entire syllabus is compulsory if you must win. Grow in them one after the other and your victory will be inevitable. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, teach me the way of your strength.

“No one thing gives birth to strength, it takes the whole”

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.
