  GROWING Ephesians 4:9-16 Devotional:- “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head of Christ” (V. 15) God’s plan and desire is that we grow up. So many Christian today are growing older but not growing up. Many are stocked in perpetual spiritual infancy. This is because they never intend to grow. Spiritual growth is not automatic, it takes intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort and persist in growing. Discipleship is the process of becoming like Christ (Matthew 10:25). In your spiritual growth, God has a part and you have a part. To be Christ-like you will need to make Christ like choices and depend on the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill those choices. The moment you are ready, you will need to let go of some old routines and develop some new habits. You will need to intentionally change the way you are thinking (Philippians 2:12-13). To work out your salvation with fear and trembling means to take you...

HOPE

Scripture Reading: Job 14:6-14
Devotional:- "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease” (V.7)

    A man is encouraged when he bounce back to hope. This is an act of reassuring ourselves of the promises of the word of God. We gain encouragement when we remember what the Lord is able to do in our lives. To be hopeful is to have a deep sense of expectations and assurance that what we are trusting God for will come

Job said there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, at the scent or the smell of water, it will come alive again and bring forth like a plant. How much more man?

Friend, if a tree smell water and come alive, then the water you need to always smell is the word of God (Isaiah 55:10-11; Psalm 19:7-8). If anyone lacks hope, there is nothing he will be able to attain. To build your hope again, you need to take time to meditate upon the testimonies of the doing of the Lord. That is why it is dangerous if a Christian is withdrawing from the fellowship of children of God. There the Lord renews our hope in His word and we are back to courage (Psalm 84:7). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me by your word to keep my hope alive

“HOPE RESTORED IS COURAGE RESTORED”

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.
