CONDEMNATION

  CONDEMNATION Romans 8:1-8 Devotional:- “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (v.1) NKJV Condemnation is often mistakenly taken as one of the behaviours of the righteous, and by it, the enemy often steals the joy of many. What most people feel like expressing is the fact that being sober brings us to a time of quality self-examination. But this has nothing to do with condemnation (2 Corinthians 7:10). It is actually the enemy that is making us feel we are not fit to live in God’s presence. It’s all together the trick of the devil to steal our joy. In the scripture we read today, the Bible says we are no longer to be condemned. Condemnation is a legal term applicable to an accused who is guilty of a crime. But Christ has taken all we are supposed to take on the cross. If you have to suffer for your sin, then the death of Christ is in vain. God’s word says we have been justified ...

IMPATIENCE

IMPATIENCE

SCRIPTURE: HEBREWS 4:8-13    
DEVOTIONAL:- “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”. (Vs. 12)

    One major thing which many people are not careful about that can hinder their prayers is impatience. It is natural for a person to be impatient because of our human inability to manage our temperamental weaknesses. This is why we need to have quality understanding of the ways of the kingdom of God.

The king of this kingdom is God and His ways are different from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). He has His own eternal plan and He made us to fulfill a part of His plans (Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 43:21). In God's agenda, there are things He will not do according to our plans but according to His own plan. This then calls for our maturity to work with Him in humility and endurance for our good and for His glory.

You need to stop comparing your life with others' (2 Cor. 10:12). We are not created to behave the same way. We may sometimes be impatient and angry with God, but that is not enough for us to act in unseeming ways. There are times when some Christians change their church family because of impatience. This is really not a step of spiritual maturity. 

Friend, you need to covenant your life to stay with Jesus and remain in your church. This is because it takes planting to flourish (Psalms 92:13). Impatience makes you change your mind in doubt (James 1:6-8). It confuses the angels assigned on your prayers. So, watch out. Be mature to be patience with God. Then you will always receive answers to your prayers. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to patiently wait on you for my desires

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.

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.
