GREATNESS

  GREATNESS   Luke 1:26-37 Devotional:- “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David” (v.32) NKJV One of the strong prophecies that was spoken about Jesus was that He would be great. I have discovered with time that lasting greatness is given by God. Therefore, it becomes unattainable only by labour but by God’s favour. You hardly see anyone who doesn’t desire to be great, but greatness is life's answer to a few people. This is not because many people don’t labour for it, but because God did not approve their greatness. I need to bring you to an understanding of how to contact true greatness. It comes through the combination of virtues called labour and favour. These two virtues come from both man and God, respectively. Man labour but God favour. Anyone can easily give himself to effective labour, but if the favour of God does not come on it, greatness may not respond. We have a blessing in the birt...

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.

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.
