HELP

  HELP Isaiah 41:10-20  Devotional:- “Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you," says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” (V. 14) NKJV Just because God loves us, He has promised to help us. Every man, at one time or another, will need help. This is because the strength of man is inadequate in most cases. Most of the time, our strength proves inadequate, even when we are close to success. You will observe that with all your determination, thinking you can do something, sometimes, you will only get to the middle, to discover that your strength has been exhausted. At such a point, people who don’t have God turn to the devil for help. The devil will always take advantage of such a time, pretending to have a solution but only trying to trap their lives. Friend, don’t turn to the evil way for help. He that creates you and loves you says, “He will help you.” Stop looking unto men (Psalms 121:1-2). Look unto Jesus today. Call upon Him now, and He wi...

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.
