  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

QUIET PLACE

QUIET PLACE

Scripture:  Matthew 6:1-8
Devotional:- But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly (v.6) NKJV

    For anyone to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ, you need to create the right atmosphere for this. In our homes we have the seating room, bedroom, kitchen, toilets or dinning room. These rooms help us to do the right thing at the right place. The same with spiritual things. Jesus also have a place He alone always withdrew to pray ( Luke 22:39).

There is something significant in choosing a perfect place of prayer and studying the word of God. Just like your mind expect food to come whenever you sit at the dinning room, when you also get to the place you’ve appointed to seek the Lord, your mind will resume to study and prayers.

Friend,we can pray anywhere and God will answer, but you need a specific place in your house to be alone with Jesus. Some call it prayer alter or worship place in the house. Make sure it is not a place you can be distracted. Be sure you keep your Bible and writing materials around the place. Even if you have just a room to yourself, please choose a particular side of your bed. The Holy Spirit will always wait for you in  the appointed place. This is a critical factor in your discipleship journey. Peace.

Prayer:- Lord, give me an experience of your daily visitation

“When you get to the place with Jesus, heaven will always be opened”

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.
