A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

OVERCOMING SIN

OVERCOMING SIN

Romans 6:5-18
Devotional:- “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace” (v. 14) NKJV

    Many people today are facing the challenges of how to overcome sin in their lives. We have also many others who willingly submit to the rule of sin regularly. But the truth is that many know the evil and wicked consequences of sin. For example we all know that sexual sin endangers our health and lives. Also, every bad habit is intending to make us a failure. Yet many will not stop committing them and so many lives and destinies have been destroyed.

If a man will ever overcome the power of sin, he needs to first realize the love God has for him. There is need for us to know that God loves us and only hates our sins. If we repent of our sins He will forgive us (1 John 1:7-9). He is not interested in the death of a sinner but that he repents and be saved (Ezekiel 18:23). Sin brings us under condemnation and fear but the love of God sets us free from the bondages of sin.

We also need to know that Jesus came to set us free from the power of sin and death (1 John 3:8; Romans 8:2). He destroyed the power of sin on the cross of Calvary. So sin has no power to force us to obey it anymore. The throne of sin is destroyed and the grace of righteousness of God reign over our lives. So the power to say NO is given to us.

You will realize that when you sin as a believer, you willingly do it, not as if you can't control yourself. So is every genuinely saved believer. Don’t let that sin destroy your health and success. Refuse it, glorious destiny awaits you. Don't exchange it with sin. You have authority over sin, it will not see your end but you will see its end in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, thank you because you've made me strong enough to overcome sin.

“In sin lies failure and death”

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.
