  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

COMMITMENT TO THE MASTER

COMMITMENT TO THE MASTER 

Scripture: 1 John 3:3-11

Devotional:- "Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him". v.6 NKJV

       For anyone to truly be like Jesus, He/She must be committed to the master. Though, many goes to church today but are not committed to Jesus. Many have accepted Him as Lord and saviour, yet they do not get committed to the master (Matt 7:20-21).

Been a citizen of the kingdom of God is a relationship with Jesus. Just like no man will love to marry a woman committed to the marriage 50% or 80%, so also a disciple of Jesus must totally be committed to Jesus. We must be committed to Jesus as our master who have no selfish interest but our welfare and our growth in God.

Friend, you can only be like Jesus if you are committed to Jesus. To be committed to Jesus is to be committed to Him as your master and be committed to follow His instructions. That is why a disciple of Jesus must have an open mind to learn from the master. We must be committed and be consistent to the word of God and the service of the Lord. This is when we are His true disciples. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me a committed heart to your kingdom.

"Only the committed can grow like the master"

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 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.
