ACKNOWLEDGING HIM

  ACKNOWLEDGING HIM Proverbs 3:1-8  Devotional:- “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (v.6) KJV. To be able to enjoy God’s loving kindness, all of us must learn to always acknowledge God in all our decision-making. This simply means that we recognise Him as our owner and the one who is qualified to instruct us on where to turn. When we gave our lives to Christ, we all confessed Jesus as our Lord. This means we acknowledge Him as the one who has the final decision over our lives. But we often forget to carry Him along in making decisions that will, in the end, have a great adverse effect on our lives. If we are to enjoy the love and the goodness of the Lord, we must learn to acknowledge Him. And this is by patiently asking Him for His instructions for us. The truth is that He will always guide us. He said, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalms 32:8). The truth is that you are gu...

IMPATIENCE         

1 Samuel 13:4-14
Devotional:- "Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him". (V. 10) NKJV

    Sometimes in the course of trying to rush to attain a goal, we complicate situations especially when this rush is caused by impatience. Impatience is not to allow the right process of things to be in place. It is the trick of the enemy to bring affliction over our heart by making us to be restless and making us feel if it does not happen now it will never happen. This is not often true but lies. This is not a life style of a true believer.

It is true in the scripture we read today that King Saul had waited for seven days but he should have waited to the end of the day before concluding that Samuel the prophet will not come again. It was just a pressure by the weakness of his heart and as soon as he finished sacrificing Samuel came. His day of honour was turn to the beginning of the shame. Just a little patience more would have secured his throne.

Friend, understand that what is yours by divine ordination will not miss you. Don’t give in to pressure. This pressure in most cases is because we lack the understanding of the purposes of God. The devil always want to deceive us to think material things are our purpose on earth. That push us to become desperate when it look escaping. Please know that you are not created for material things but they are created for you. You need not to be afraid of failure. Remember God is on your side (Romans 8:31). You can’t secure the future by allowing tension. Watch out! Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to manage pressure of life

“Situation that comes with pressure is leading to tension, watch out!”

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.
