PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

THINKING THROUGH

Luke 15:11-24
Devotional:- "I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you". (V. 18)

    Thinking is not ordinary; thinking is often ignited by the spirit. When you find yourself thinking repeatedly around an issue, God is simply setting you up for an achievement. Most people see thinking as a burden. They enjoy to always jest and laugh, that is great but not all the time so that you don’t laugh away the strength to succeed.

The prodigal son had made great mistake. He has committed a sacrilege by asking for his inheritance from a living father. God’s word said a will is not effective when the writer is still alive (Hebrews 9:17). But this boy defiled it all. He received his inheritance without vision and experience of financial management. So he came to the end of the road. But though he has lost all things, he didn’t lose his mind. So he engaged his mind and he was restored. People need to know that it is laziness to keep giving excuses. Nothing good will come without a price.

Friend, when you pray ask the Holy Spirit to guide your mind into the counsel of God (Psalm 23:1-3). Let the Lord help you to understand your way to restoration. As you engage Him in mental responsibility, He will start to guide you. He will lead you and surprise you with heavenly ideas. Things you never thought of will come to mind. This is the beauty of waiting, in separation to the Lord (Isaiah 40:31). You will arise and succeed in Jesus name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be mentally responsible.

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.
