  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

IDOLATRY

IDOLATRY

Scripture Reading: Psalms 16:1-6
Devotional:- “Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips” (V. 4)

    Another factor that removes praises from the life of people is idolatry. This is an act of following other god apart from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Idolatry has trapped the destiny of many people. People follow other gods because they take to suggestions from the ungodly. Ungodly way may look profitable, but the end is always destructive (Proverbs 14:12).

The word of God says, “those who follow other gods shall have many sorrows”. Idolatry is an optional way offered by the devil for those who can no longer wait for the Lord (Psalms 37:7-11). The devil always deceives people with material things till they will bag sorrow. The reason why idolatry looks better to some people is that it works fast. But this is deception of the devil to take people away from their joy.

Friend, all that glitters are not gold. Be happy following the Lord. Be patience to learn the way things work in God (Luke 8:15). Refuse to follow the devil or any wicked advice. Such will lead to sorrow at last. Do not because of money seek the devil (1 Timothy 6:10-11). Don't be offended in God (Matthew 11:6). Humble yourself before God and you shall be lifted in due season (1 Peter 5:6). Keep serving God with joy (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, sustain me in your righteousness 

“IDOLATRY WAYS ARE QUICK WAY TO ARRIVE IN SORROW”

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.
