  CHILDREN OF GOD I John 3:1-3  Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V.1) NKJV One of the unique things on earth is that, each one belongs to one family or the other. Some are from a great family, their name sounds great, and others are from a family that is not well-known. The truth is that, the lineage each of us belongs to, sometimes speaks and shows in our live. Those who are seen as children of great people in the world are often counted as privileged. But the scripture we read today is aimed at making you appreciate the privilege of being a child of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are born into a great family on earth or not. God has decided to bestow His love on you by calling you His child (Galatians 4:7). This is the greatest family in heaven and earth. The moment you are born again, you are born of God (John 1:12).

ENCOURAGEMENT

1 Samuel 30:1-8
Devotional:- Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. (V. 6)

    As important as courage is to our victory, also encouragement is equally important. Encouragement is bouncing back to courage; encouragement is regaining back your strength. In this world the enemy will always do everything to discourage you, this will be through many avenues, he will use a dragging situation, he will use mockers, he will use frustration. All of these is to remove your courage; this is because your courage is your strength to win.

To bounce back to courage when you are discouraged is the act of refusing the discouraging factors and hold to what encourages you. That is why encouragement will have to be self-encouragement, most of the time David had to turn back to God who have been his strength.

Friend, most people want to pull you down but learn to always turn to God for your encouragement. Your strength will always be by taking instruction from God and obeying by faith. When David obeyed the Lord, he got back his victory; you are getting back your victory. It is not over for you. You will still win. Return back to God and you will win again.

Prayer: Lord, help me to return back to you for my victory

“Only God gives a lasting strength”.
