  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people. Don’t over expect. We need to give up the thought that the church should be perfect and admit that we all are not perfect people but people that wants to be perfec...

PUTTING ON

Ephesians 4:17-24
Devotional:- "and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness". (V. 24) NKJV

    When you are putting off the sinful nature, it is important we all labour to put on the nature of Christ. This is when we are Christians.  To put on means you deliberately allow yourself to be exposed to information that builds in you the new nature

This is by giving yourself to the studying of the word of God. It is by fellowshipping with God and His people. It is by surrounding yourself with people and atmosphere that promotes this nature of Christ. That is why the fellowship of the children of God is so vital (Psalms 84:7). By so doing you will be developing in Christlikeness. You need to truly give up on self. This does not mean giving up on your vision, it is God that gives vision but self promotes ambition.

Friend, to allow Christ to live in you, then you must put on his nature that is when the fruits of righteousness will start to reflect in you. That is when you will no longer struggle to please God. Put on love, peace and joy in righteousness and holiness. Peace

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to put on the nature of Christ.

“What you are putting on is what people see in you”

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.
