  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

PRICE OF FOCUS

PRICE OF FOCUS

Philippians 3:12-16
Devotional:- "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." (V. 13)

    One of the most potent factors of success is focus. This helps us to concentrate on the major things of life for our success. Many things are always calling for our attention. They will always attempt to distract us from been successful. That is why we have to learn the wisdom of focus. This makes us effective and successful (Matthew 6:22).

The word of God reveals to us one of the secret of the success of Paul the Apostle, He said one thing I do, he focused on his calling. He always put out of mind many things. Someone said, he does not know how to succeed, but he can recommend how to fail, that is satisfying all. Jesus said one thing is needful in life (Luke 10:42).

To be able to have a focused life, we must understand our assignment specifically and get our purpose right. Without clear purpose, people will keep changing direction, jobs, relationship, and church etc. This is because they feel making changes will give them success and settle their confusions (Ephesians 5:12).

Friend, when vision and purpose are defined, then you need to focus on it. This will make you highly effective (Philippians 3:15).  It is said that when sunlight is focused or concentrated with a lenses, it can ignite fire on a paper; scientist says it can cut steel. That is how potent your life will be when you can focus. Peace!

Prayer- Lord, Give me Grace to focus on my assignment to succeed.

“FOCUS IS THE SECRET OF STRENGTH AND SUCCESS”

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.
