  WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT  Isaiah 8:11-18 Devotional:- “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17) God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence. In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten.

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

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.
