  OUR REDEEMER Colossians 2:9-18  Devotional:- “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”(V. 14) No life living under the power of curses can by any means prosper. This is because curses have the power to destroy the strength to prosper. When it is said that a man is cursed, it means a word was spoken to him, and this word follows him to pull him down wherever he goes. You need to know that the Word often became flesh to follow people (John 1:14). So it often stands as a spirit assigned to follow men about. So when a man is cursed, it is under a monitoring spirit that destroys his help, favour and success. But we have this great love of God demonstrated to us in Christ Jesus. Jesus came to redeem us from the curses ofthe law. In other words, He has come to set us free from the slavery of sin and Satan. To redeem means to set free or buy back from the slave market. He paid the price tag placed on us and bought us back from the slave market of the e...

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”

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.
