FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

GROWING IN THE LORD

GROWING IN THE LORD

Ephesians 4:7-16
But, speaking the truth in love may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. (V. 15) NKJV

    Nothing is more exciting in life than growing. With growth come many good things of life. With growth comes wisdom, understanding and knowledge. With growth comes unspeakable joy that accompanies insight. When your eyes are open to the ways of progress in life, you feel on top of the world. You will be able to take dominion and be in charge of your life. The sense of I am in charge makes you a living being indeed.

A sign of a true believer is that he or she is ever growing. This growing grace is a product of our consistent fellowship with Jesus. It is the person you’re fellowshipping with that you look like. Our fellowship with God becomes quality when we daily meditate in the word of God. This is always better during a personal time with Him. In such times we have quality praises and prayers, the heaviness of heart is removed at such times, our eyes of understanding become brighter and we are increasing in understanding.

Friend, it is time you stop being a baby Christian. Growing up gives you all things. It is a new beginning for you. Receive grace. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, ignited the fire of growth in me.

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.
