SPIRIT OF JOY

  SPIRIT OF JOY Galatians 5:16-26 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” (v.22) NKJV For all men to experience an ever-flowing joy, we must first possess the spirit of joy. God is the source of joy. When He is in a man, He brings His joy along (Psalm 16:11). Since God is a Spirit, He can only be with men by dwelling in them. When the spirit of God dwells in a man, he will experience unlimited joy. One of the most neglected exercises in the church is people receiving the Holy Spirit. Most Christians look for one excuse or the other to neglect the Holy Spirit in their life. Sometimes people feel the Holy Spirit is not that necessary. Some people feel it is an old way of following the Lord. But you need to know that if you lack the Spirit of God, God’s word says that you are none of His own (Romans 8:9). Friend, it will be wisdom for you to set aside time to ask and be filled with the Spirit of Christ. When you are filled wit...

SAVED BY GRACE

SAVED BY GRACE

Ephesians 2:1-10 NKJV
Devotional:-For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God (V. 8).

    A Christian is the one that is saved by grace. To be saved by grace means you know you are not saved by your works of moral behaviour. It means you know that you do not merit your salvation. Grace means unmerited favour. In order words, you did not work for it. Someone had already paid for it.

Because we are saved by grace and not by our merit, we appreciate the mercy of God. That is why you have nothing to boast about. Jesus paid the price on the cross. He died and rose on the third day to pay for your salvation. You were only given as a gift (Romans 6:23). You only accept the salvation by believing that Jesus died on the cross for you.

 This have a way of making us humble before our saviour. By that humility we are kept under check and not proud. It is only those who aren saved by Grace that are children of God. If you  have not fully come into this understanding you may not be saved. Be grateful daily for He who pay for your freedom from sin and satan. Then you are set for a great life with God. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to retain the understanding of my salvation by Grace.

“Grace is a gift to be appreciated by humility”

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.

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.
