GREATEST FATHER

  GREATEST FATHER John 20:11-18 “Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” (V.17) NKJV   Though there is a great number of males in the world today, there are few true fathers. Men who can be referred to as good fathers are rare. This is the reason for the breeding of terrible children in today's homes. Many children don’t even know what it is to have a father. That is why when God is referred to as our father, it does not interest some of us in any form. We only look at Him as one of those absentee fathers in the world. In the scripture we read today, Jesus died and resurrected again and purchased us back to God by His blood. The first person He met after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene. He was glad to share with Mary the good news of God becoming our Father through His death. He probably would have expecte...

REDEEMED TO GOD

REDEEMED TO GOD

Ephesians 1:3-10
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (V. 7) NKJV

    To be redeemed is to be bought from the slave market. When a slave is up for sale, a relation may come to buy back home. That is redemption. All men are in the slave market of sin (John 8:34). Jesus came as a saviour to redeem us from the power of sin (Matthew 1:21).

 A true Christian is the one that Jesus has redeemed by his blood unto God (Revelation 5:9). You need this understanding to be a Christian. This is because that makes you know you are now purchased unto God. You now belong to God and no more for the devil or the world. You are no more for yourself (1 Corinthians 6:20). You need this understanding to know that no other power have right over your life.

Friend, since you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, all glory belongs to Him. Sin and its power have no right over your life anymore. You are now a child of God and have nothing to do with the devil and darkness anymore (Ephesians 5:11-12). God’s word says you are now a king and a priest (Revelation 5:9-10). So playing around with the ungodly endangers your redemption. The Lord will sustain you to the end in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my redemption in mind.

“Whoever does not keep his/her redemption in mind will soon be enslaved again”.

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.
