GREATEST FATHER

  GREATEST FATHER John 20:11-18 “Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” (V.17) NKJV   Though there is a great number of males in the world today, there are few true fathers. Men who can be referred to as good fathers are rare. This is the reason for the breeding of terrible children in today's homes. Many children don’t even know what it is to have a father. That is why when God is referred to as our father, it does not interest some of us in any form. We only look at Him as one of those absentee fathers in the world. In the scripture we read today, Jesus died and resurrected again and purchased us back to God by His blood. The first person He met after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene. He was glad to share with Mary the good news of God becoming our Father through His death. He probably would have expecte...

MENTALITY OF DELAY

MENTALITY OF DELAY

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:5-18
Devotional:- “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (V. 12)

    A strong weapon in the hand of the enemy to discourage many people is the mentality of delay. We don't always consider the God factor when we think of timing. Though we often don't have anything to do to alter divine agenda, yet we have delay mentality to explain it away. There is no one that feel delayed that will not be discouraged.

The word of God says ‘when hope is differed it makes the heart sick’ But when the heart is sick such life will be sick. That is why, we need to strongly consider what is happening and what to do when we feel delayed instead of getting discouraged.

Delay may actually be as a result of the activities of the enemy. But when we have put our strength of faith together and are yet not able drive through, we the need to know that we are delayed for some reasons. It could be because God want us to grow stronger. It could be because we are not able to manage what we are expecting or we are not in the right timing for it (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). No one should relax in delay, yet no one should break his /her faith in God because of delay.

In God's way sometimes we have to wait for His promises. When we have done all we need to do (Hebrew 6:12). Let us humble ourselves to take to instructions from the Lord and obey Him (1 Peter 5:6). Don't tear down your Christians life in compromise. Encourage yourself. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me in my waiting time.

“HE THAT WILL NOT WAIT WILL WASTE”

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.
