  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION

Colossians 4: 1-6
Devotional:- "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." (V. 6)

    As God's kingdom citizen please understand that for any relationship to be strong there must be effective communication. A family that share together stays together and journey together. Communication is an act of sharing our mind together. It could be in form of counseling or guide. It could also be in form of sharing our mind in a lighter mood or commending one another. It could also be in encouraging or correcting each other. 

​In the scripture we read today the Bible gives instruction on how we should communicate with others. God's word says our words should always be gracious. This means words of that help to motivate and encourage others. That way we will be able to rightly communicate with others and we shall have good response. 

​Don't be abusive or commanding, there is a place of commanding but not always. Not even to an adult (1 Tim 4:12). Have a right motive towards others because your mouth cannot really divorce your heart (Matt 12:33-37). Be a good listener and not in a haste to respond (James 1:19, Proverbs 29:20). Let your word encourage, comfort and edify others (1 Cor 14:3). Then your relationship will always be sweet. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have a good heart toward others.

"If you can speak well, you can live well"

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.
