KINDNESS

  KINDNESS Hebrews 13:1-9 Devotional:- “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels” (v.2) NKJV The season we are in is a season of strangers, and close friends will come to locate you. You will find many in need of your assistance. God’s words teach us to be of assistance to such people. Even though we live in a very dangerous and delicate world, where so many unbelievable atrocities have been committed. Yet it does not mean we should completely neglect the instruction of this part of the scripture. We only need to obey God with wisdom. We are not to turn people away sharply; we only need to learn to discern what kind of people are coming around us. We also need to be wise not to disclose or open our hidden places to strangers. But I need to let you know that God honour those who honour strangers. If you read the bible, you will discover God has a special interest in widows, orphans and strangers. So when you give attention to the...

PRICE OF DISCIPLINE

PRICE OF DISCIPLINE

1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Devotional:- "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. (V. 27)"

    Part of the price to be paid by anyone who wants to succeed is the price of discipline. Success is highly demanding that only the discipline can make a meaning of it. Most people want comfort. But it should be clear to all that comfort without having to discipline self will later turn to suffering and regrets. That is why Apostle Paul said I discipline my body and bring it under subjection lest when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

There are three lessons from this scripture. Each of us will have to discipline him/her self. This is by training and culturing self to endure in some situation. Each of us should learn to bring our body under subjection.  This is a mentality of “my body can’t have what it wants but what I approve”. This is ruling over your body and not the body ruling you. Each of us should buy wisdom and not sell it (Proverbs 23:23). Be sure you are doer of what you profess. Each of us should be mindful of not been disqualified.

Friend, be willing to pay this price and that is when you can succeed in this world. It take discipline to shun distractions, it take discipline to arise when you don’t feel like. It takes discipline to drive on when the road is rough. It takes discipline to endure to the end. You will succeed. Peace!

Prayers- Lord, Give me a heart of discipline

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.

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.
