LIGHTEN YOUR BURDEN

  LIGHTEN YOUR BURDEN I Peter 5:6-11 Devotional:- “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (v.7) NKJV Until a man truly learns the act of offloading the garbage of his life experience, he cannot experience the true life of joy. The truth is that joy and worry cannot co-exist. When the heart of a man is heavy, he cannot pretend to be happy. That is why he will need to lighten up always. In our scripture today, the Bible teaches us about casting our cares upon God. Our cares are things that burden our mind, which strongly hold our hearts with sorrow. These are in most cases, the challenges that we face. The way of escape the Lord has made for us from such a trap is to cast our cares on Him. This is simply by believing in His care for us and by the same faith committing those challenges to Him in prayer. After which, by faith also we receive our liberty for joy. Be aware that needs will always come to create burdens on us. That is why you must let the system of joy flow ...

PUTTING ON

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”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
