  APPRECIATE HIM Psalms 136:1-9  Devotional:- “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (V.1) NKJV Most people have not started to enjoy God to the maximum. because they have not fully imbibed the wisdom of appreciation. No relationship will be able to survive for a long time if the spirit of appreciation is not imbibed. Can you imagine that you plan to buy something for someone you love, though you do not have the means but embarked on saving towards it. At last you successfully get the gift, rapped it beautifully with a rapper and present it to your friend. All that your friend did was to receive it and just say, “That is good,” in a frowning way. And he started talking about something else to make you forget about the gift. You will feel disappointed and almost regret your effort. This and others are what most men do to God. We do not know that it is costing God so much to keep us alive. Can you imagine the challenges mummy went through b...

FEELING CONDEMNED

FEELING CONDEMNED

Romans 8:1-5
Devotional:- "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit". (V. 1)

    What some people call humility is equal to self-destruction. Many have problem differentiating between humility and self-humiliation. What some take for been sober is just like self-defamation. They do not only condemn themselves they also go on the cross for their own sin.

Even Jesus suffered on the cross and it was over but their case have been an endless self-crucifixion and they never see themselves qualified to be free.

Jesus came condemned and crucified that we may not suffer. As many of us that have the life of Jesus in our life, we are no more to be under the punishment of condemnation. All that is important is that we know that submission to God is to allow Him to direct our ways. In other word we take instructions before taking steps. It is also important that whenever the Holy Spirit convicts us of an unrighteous act, we repent of it and confess it to God and that is all (1 John 1:7-10). But to carry it on and on is to be willing to die for your sin. You are saying the death of Jesus is not enough for you and you want to put your life on the cross with Jesus. Please learn to live by faith in God’s word and you shall be free.

Prayer: Lord, help me to learn to take forgiveness by faith.

“Self-condemnation is a sin of self-crucifixion”.

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.
