  WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT  Isaiah 8:11-18 Devotional:- “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17) God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence. In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten. In such ti...

FAITH

Scripture Reading: Romans 4:16-25
Devotional:- “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God” (V. 20)

    The true praises of God can only come from a heart of faith. This is a heart that strongly believes God for a miracle. This is a heart that put his hope in God like Abraham did. This is a heart that is not fixed on what is available presently but what the promises of the word of God say. This is a heart that is willing to wait to see the manifestation of the word of God (Job 14:14).

 The word of God says Abraham did not waver or doubt God’s ability to fulfill His word in his life. Instead of doubting, he was rather giving glory to God (Romans 4:20). This was really possible because Abraham had made up his mind not to doubt God.  The word of God says doubters will receive nothing from God (James 1:6-8). So, Abraham had decided that instead of doubting, he will rather praise God. You should learn to do the same. Thank you Lord! You are able to help me! I know you are faithful! etc are ways to praise Him

Friend, learning to give glory and praises to God in any situation is a great way to help you overcome doubts. Instead of thinking negatively, you quickly remember the faithfulness of God and give Him praise. Since you have made up your mind not to doubt God, this will always help you out. Make up your mind to trust God till your change come like that of Job (Job 14:14). Decide not to turn to other God (Psalms 16:4). Remember, God has been faithful to the fathers and He will be faithful to you too. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, sustain me in faith of your faithfulness

“BY FAITH, YOU CAN BRING GOD’S PROMISES TO FULFILLMENT”

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.
