  GOD WITH YOU Esther 8:9-17 Devotional:- “The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor” (v.16) NKJV      There is nothing as beautiful as when God is with a man. All things will just be working wonderfully for him. Such a person enjoys God’s favour and mercy. He enjoys the grace of God. And as a result of grace, God preserves him from all evil and prospers his endeavour. The enemy of such a person will always be put to shame, and because of God’s presence with him, He will always be filled with testimonies of joy. Do you know that this is God’s plan for your life because the Lord is with you? (Isaiah 43:2). Though the Jews were in a land of slavery, the presence of the Lord was with them. And by this, they were preserved and protected. At one time, a man rose against the Jews to destroy them, but God fought for them (Romans 8:31). A letter went out from the King for all the Jews to be destroyed, but God turned it around in their favour. So they were victorious, an...

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP 

Scripture: Mark 8: 34-38
Devotional:- When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV

  
    Just like any other process of production, to become like Jesus also demands that we go through a process. It is in the course of going through the process that we begin to look like Him. Everyone that come to Jesus are like raw materials but we must not remain raw in our relationship with Christ. Some people have been in the Church for decades yet they are still the same as they came.
The process of becoming like Jesus begins from we making a firm decision to belong to God. It has to be firm because the devil through the flesh will contend with our decision. No one will truly be committed to Christ if they had not submitted their lives unto Him or take Jesus as their Lord and Savior (Luke 5:8). We must therefore seek to know Him by relating with Him through His word. We must then covenant our life to walk with God in total and not partial relationship (Genesis 17:1).

This then enrolled us into the desire to learn of who God is to us, what Christ does for us what we are by right in God and what is our responsibilities as disciples of Christ. This will cost us quality time in learning to relate and obey Christ. This will demand our commitment and devotion to the course of the kingdom of God. By this we will keep growing from level to level as we learn to be like Him in our attitude and character. It is then we become and light and are able to help others go through the process. Then we can stand for Jesus and obey Him in all situation. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to totally surrender to you.

“You are a servant of who you surrender to”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
