PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

FIRST WITHIN

Judges 6:11-16  
So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” (V. 15).

    In the course of we growing up in life, we grow in the midst of some situation that had sharpen our mind and belief system. Some of such mentality cannot produce a victorious life. We sometimes take them to be sincere humility, thinking we are helpless about them. It makes us think some people are more lucky than we are. That makes you look down on yourself.

Gideon said to the angel, I come from the weakest tribe in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. He often thinks like this and have self-defeat in his heart (Proverbs 23:7). There is no way anyone can win with self defeat mentality.  You can’t be thinking defeated and win you can't be thinking as a slave and rule, you can't be thinking poor and be rich. Build a mind-set of a conqueror, I am a king (Revelation 5:9-10), I am special and peculiar (1 Peter 2:9), I am blessed of God (Ephesians 1:3), I can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13), I am born to reign (Revelation 5:9-10). The great God is in me (1 John 5:4).

Friend, God knows what he made you for before giving you that assignment, He knows you are able. Jeremiah also said, I am a youth but God stop him from thinking like that, Moses also almost lost his destiny but God stop him of that.

Friend, you are capable of winning, just deal with all of these. You are only delayed for your appointed time to come and it has come. Don’t think defeated. Always agree with God in your thinking and you will always win. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the strength to win in my thought patterns 

“IF YOU CAN’T WIN IN YOUR HEART YOU CAN’T WIN IN LIFE”

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.
