A HEALER

  A HEALER Isaiah 53:1-10  Devotional:- “...the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His strips we healed.” (V. 5) It is of great importance to know that the love of God for us brought our healing. When people are sick, it takes careful, loving treatment to bring them to their healing. Sickness itself is a product of sin and a by-product of condemnation and frustration. When Jesus came here on earth, one of the things He dealt with on behalf of man was sickness. Before Adam and Eve sinned, there was no record that they were sick like the same with other patriarchs. This is because these people walked in the righteousness of God. They walked in uprightness of mind with God. So the devil can't afflict them with any form of sickness. When Adam and Eve sinned, the land was cursed for their sake (Genesis 3:17-18). The fruitful plant was removed for the thorns and thistles. Medical research proved that most sicknesses come to the human body through what we eat. Sin, there...

DILIGENCE

DILIGENCE

2 Timothy 2:14-19 NKJV
Devotional:- "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". (V. 15)

    Laziness is a sign of irresponsibility. To be lazy the person always dodges responsibility and not willing to take a task. A lazy person will have to tell lies sometimes. Many times he or she will have to pretend. Always looking for how to manipulate and turn responsibilities away from his or herself. Such people are always excited only when there is fun. Their definition of fun is idleness.

If you are lazy you cannot be a true believer. There are too many things we accommodate in the name of church. To be lazy means you are not growing in the Lord. The spirit of God is a diligent Spirit. If people in your office or fellowship are always complaining about you, even God will also complain. God hate laziness and irresponsibility, God wants his children to be diligent (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12).

Friend, to be a true believer you must be diligent and love to work. Don’t be pulling it down when others are pushing it up. Don’t be cold; be hot in the office or in the House of the Lord (Revelation 3:15-16). Don’t let your home be like a rat house. Put in your best to whatever you are doing. Be a good representative of Christ.

Prayer: Lord, give me a diligent spirit.

“Diligence makes you a shining example of Christ”

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.
