TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself.

WHY BEING LIKE CHRIST

Scripture: Luke 14:25-27
Devotional:- “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” (v.26) NKJV

    There is a strong need to know the reason we are to be like Jesus. When purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. Everyone we see in the world is either living to be like christ or like the world (John 17:16).

At creation God made us to be like Him (Genesis 1:27). His desire is that we are like Him in attitude and in character. This is because His attitude are wisdom. Attitude for our success in this world (Deuteronomy 4:6). God’s wisdom are prevailing wisdom. His wisdom is not the same to human wisdom (Isaiah 55:8). He wants us to be like Him because attitude make us win where there’s are defeated (Luke 16:10-12). His attitude makes us stand out as a light and example on our world (Matthew 5:16). His attitude make us to be put in charge and have dominion (Genesis 39:2-4). His attitude qualify us for more (Luke 16:11).

Friend becoming like christ is a major reason you are on earth. To be changed to the life style of heaven (Matthew 7:20-23). You as a child of God must therefore put in your strength by the help of the Holy Spirit to be like Jesus in love and obedience. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be like Jesus.

“if you are truly His son or daughter, you will be like Him”

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 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.
