MATURE CLASS

  MATURE CLASS I Corinthians 13:9-13 Devotional:- “When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things” (v.11) NLT I have observed that it is not everyone that can truly love. This is because it is a character for a person in a class. I have seen some men taking pride in beating their wives. I have heard many women proudly saying that they cannot stay under any man. And they do not feel ashamed that at their age, they couldn’t manage a home. The truth is that, if you cannot rise and manage a home, it is a sign that you cannot manage a greater thing that God would have loved to give to you (1 Timothy 3:5). When people give excuses of the reason why they cannot love, you will easily recognise their immaturity. Friend, you should feel ashamed if there is always noise of a fight coming from your apartment. And so many times, people, including the pagans, often come around to judge you and people, bashing and mocking...

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF

Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 30:1-8
Devotional:- “Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God” (V. 6)

    One of the ways to be stronger than the resistance of life is to learn the act of self encouragement. This is a skills you must acquire. Simply because many times in this world, people are individually busy and are all facing their own business. So expecting people to always encourage you may not be realistic.

The reason people get depressed is because they don't know how to encourage themselves whenever they are alone. Having understood that courage is a product of right and wise information we meditate upon, it then becomes easier to know where to pick up courage when there is no one to give it to you.

David simply stop weeping having remembered that the Lord was with Him and will always guide him whenever he asked for His direction. So he called for the priest to ask from God what he should do. The moment the word came from the Lord, David was encouraged to pursue. You may need to set a time aside to be with God for two or three days. Taking your Bible and other books (Proverbs 18:1) His guide will give you courage to move on. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your strength always increase in me.

“SELF ENCOURAGEMENT WILL ALWAYS DRIVE TO THE END”

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 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.
