A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

PRICE OF TENACITY

PRICE OF TENACITY

John 15:1-8
Devotional:- “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (V. 5)

    Very many people are struggling to succeed because their life is not stable. They are desperate to succeed and so they move and change course always. Until a man is focused in life, he may not be able to succeed; Tenacity is to stay focus on a particular profession or career.

Jesus says only those who abide in Him can be abundantly fruitful. There is nothing wrong in trying many things to see the one that better work for you. But there is a need for you to know that God has an assignment in mind when He made you. This assignment can be discovered by waiting on the Lord to receive your life vision (Habakkuk 2:1-3). Having discovered the vision of God for your life, stay in it till it works. Nothing will succeed till there is tenacity (2 Kings 2:1-3).

Friend, your vision needs your total and lifetime investment. Your marriages, Your God given vision, Your Christian journey are not what can work quickly like that. Great things need great commitment to succeed. You need to be persistently committed before anything meaningful can give you its best. There is nothing great that succeed overnight. Though not easy but endure and stay in your vision (Matthew 24:13). Then you are in for success. Peace!

Prayer- Lord, strengthen me to wait till I succeed

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.
