RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

TRAP OF SIN

TRAP OF SIN

Proverbs 9:2:13-18
Devotional:- “But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell” (v. 18) NKJV

    People held in the trap of sin always become prisoners of their own habit. When people think they’re enjoying the pleasure of sin, the devil encourages them to continue till it becomes their habits. Habits are formed when people are doing something repeatedly till it becomes an action they can no longer control or stop. When anyone have a sinful and destructive habit they are set for destruction (Roman 6:23). The devil set every aspect of their lives in trouble of self-destructive motion. So they work their own way to the grave.

Such people need the gospel, they need Jesus to save them and someone needs to share or preach the gospel to them to be saved. If they will turn to the Lord, He will deliver them from the spirit of the habits and sets them free to make a choice of righteousness. The word of God is spirit and life (John 6:63). When the world is shared with people, it sets free (John 8:32). Such need to know that Jesus shed his blood to pay for their freedom from their habit of sin.

Jesus shed his blood as the price of redemption from every slave market of sin (Revelations 5:9-10). If you can approach such person prayerfully the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts, open their eyes of understanding and they will be saved. There are many of such around you. Reach out to them with the gospel and eternity will reward you for this.

Prayer: Set the people around me free from slavery of sin

“IT IS REDEMPTION THAT TERMINATES SLAVERY”.

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.
