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...

SENSE OF INCAPABILITY

SENSE OF INCAPABILITY

Scripture Reading: Judges 6:11-21
Devotional:- “So he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” (V. 15)

    Sometimes -we feel incapable. This is because of our different experiences of failure. In such experiences, instead of carefully looking at what was wrong, we conclude inwardly ‘we can't do it’. But looking at issues critically, we will see that we are the one who do not recognize the ability of God in us and develop it.

The Angel of the Lord salute Gideon as a mighty man of valor. But Gideon was judging himself rather as incapable. This was because he saw the enemy stronger and saw his tribe smaller and weaker. He is already having a defeated mentality. But the angel was saluting him based on the ability of God he could recognize in Gideon.

Friend, anytime you tell yourself you are not capable, you are not always right. Let us be careful of looking at our experiences in life to conclude our ability. Moses also felt incapable before God, though the ability of a great leader was in him that he did not know (Exodus 3:11, 4:10). Whenever God is giving you a dream or an idea, it is because He has kept the ability for such in you. It is therefore, your responsibility to discover your abilities and ask for the strength of God (Philippians 4:13). Divine strength comes as we meditate on the word of God for our strength (Isaiah 40:31). Arise and win. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, reveal the riches in me to me

“SENSE OF INCAPABILITY IS A SPIRIT OF EXCUSES TO LET YOU MISS YOUR PLACE. WATCH OUT”

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.
