  OUR REDEEMER Colossians 2:9-18  Devotional:- “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”(V. 14) No life living under the power of curses can by any means prosper. This is because curses have the power to destroy the strength to prosper. When it is said that a man is cursed, it means a word was spoken to him, and this word follows him to pull him down wherever he goes. You need to know that the Word often became flesh to follow people (John 1:14). So it often stands as a spirit assigned to follow men about. So when a man is cursed, it is under a monitoring spirit that destroys his help, favour and success. But we have this great love of God demonstrated to us in Christ Jesus. Jesus came to redeem us from the curses ofthe law. In other words, He has come to set us free from the slavery of sin and Satan. To redeem means to set free or buy back from the slave market. He paid the price tag placed on us and bought us back from the slave market of the e...

FRIENDLINESS

John 15:9-17
Devotional:- "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you". (V. 15).

    One of the character of love is friendliness. Friendship is a relationship that brings two or three people of common interest together. Friendliness is creating an atmosphere for people to be friendly with us.Before God could made Abraham His friend He must have created a friendly atmosphere. We therefore need to learn from the scripture how to create friendly atmosphere.

​For God to become friend of man He has to come down to the level of man (John 3:16). He came to the world. He sacrifice His life for humanity to rescue man (John 15:13). Jesus has to open up information of His father to man (John 15:15). Friendly atmosphere is doing what pleases friends (John 15:12, 14). In friendly atmosphere you call a friend a friend and attend to his needs as much as possible (John 15:16).

​If God could come down to be the friend of man, we should also be humble to create the atmosphere for people will deem fit to be friendly with. Do not be afraid to announce a friend publicly. Don’t avoid him in times of need. Remember a friend in need is a friend indeed. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, make me a good manager of my friendship

"Friendship is the bank of future help.

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.
