  PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY Ephesians 2:14-22 Devotional:- “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (V. 19) It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever (Rom 12:5). Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever. Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her (Ephesians 5:25).The church is called the bride of C...

FOLLOWING HIS STEPS

FOLLOWING HIS STEPS

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:18-25
Devotional:- “For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps” (v.21) NKJV

    Discipleship is following the master. If we are going to be the disciples of Jesus, we must be willing to follow the steps of Jesus. This is what we should do in every aspects of our lives.

The world around us does not know the Lord, so, to make them our example will be totally wrong. That is why the way of the Lord will be odd to the ungodly. You must not emulate anyone but only those who are followers of Christ.

To be able to follow the steps of Jesus we must learn the details of His ways. This is by daily studying the word of God, to learn His ways. This way, the Holy Spirit will help us realize our wrong paths and we always make the choice of following the master. Ask, at any point of decision taken, what will Jesus do in this situation? Often time, the steps of Jesus will be different to the human approach and choices. It may even look unprofitable, but that is what will please the Lord to make us enjoy the blessing of God (Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:8-12). Getting addicted to the steps of the master put you in continuos blessings of the master (Matthew 6:33). It is time to step out of worldliness into godliness. Peace

Prayer- Lord, give me the courage to always follow your ways.

“ God’s ways are often opposite of  man’s ways”

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.
