  FAMILY FORUM Hebrew 12:18-29  Devotional:- "to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,” (V.23) NKJV Every lovely family always has what I refer to as family forum. That is a period when the family comes together to care and share with one another. If you are going to enjoy the benefit of such family, you cannot be away and yet be having the best of the place. As a member of the family of God you must as well be regularly available in the fellowship with children of God. The bible refers to it as the church. The church is the body of Christ of which you are one. So deleting yourself from it will not make you enjoy the treatment Jesus the head gives to the body (Ephesians 5:25-30). You need to know that attending a fellowship, is not to mark a religious register of attendance but it is the coming together of the saints. This forum is always having the presence of Jesus the ...

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

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.
