THE KING IS BORN

  THE KING IS BORN Luke 2:1-12 Devotional:- “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” NKJV Today, the whole world has come to accept Jesus Christ as the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Even if some people have not given their lives to Him, it is globally accepted that He is a Saviour. All nations today accept the chronological number of years that count “AD”. And the ‘AD’ interprets after the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. And thereby acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord and King. But you know, He was born in a manger. He was not born in a palace. This is a great message to everyone who will be great on earth. Christ really had His humble beginning. This was one of the reasons the Jews had a problem accepting Him as king and Saviour (John 19:19-22). They expected the king to be born in a palace. The truth is that you cannot really be greater than you are willing to humble yourself. What you and I must learn today is that wher...

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 6:12-23
Devotional:-  “Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!" (V. 20)

    Praises demand humility for it to be genuinely giving to God. Man has been so brainwashed to think there is no need for God, so much, that this pride does not make us to praise Him. The truth is that praising someone will demand that one humbles himself. But in the course of trying to maintain our self-esteem, we often find it difficult to praise God at the expense of our ego.

As David and the children of Israel were bringing the ark of the Lord to the place prepared for it, this was done in much music of praises to God. David the king, then danced in praises to His maker. But this does not fit in to the human mode for a king. We expect kings to behave kingly, but David humbled himself and danced unto God so much that one of his wives, the daughter of King Saul mocked him and the woman remain barren all her lifetime.

Friend, God is not the age mate of any mortal man. So, we must be humbled in other to be able to praise Him. No matter how highly placed a woman might be, when she is with her husband, she is number two and she must be humbled in other to be able to honour the husband (Ephesians 5:23-24). Among ourselves, we can play a kingly role, but when we are with God, please humble yourself that your praises may be acceptable. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to praise you

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
