  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

INVOLVING GOD

Scripture Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:14-30
Devotional:- “Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated” (V. 22)

    God had made man from the beginning to be a free moral agent. Which means we are created to make choices. God does not get involve directly when man is making a choice because He has created in us the system to be able to make choices. When we are faced with any trouble, we make choices of where to receive help and who to involve in the battles of life.

Judah was confronted by three nations in battle. They see themselves inadequate, so they sought the Lord. This is what happen when we praise the Lord. We are praising Him because of who He has been to us and what we know He can do for us (Exodus 15:1-11). As the children of God obeyed the Lord to praise Him, God set ambush against their enemy and they destroy themselves. This is what happens whenever we praise God.

Praises is getting God involve in your battle. He who take to fear get the devil involve, please learn to get God involve. Whenever you are giving praises to God, He will join you (Psalms 22:1-3). God often send angels to bring answer to prayers but He get involve when you choose to give Him praises even in the midst of your battle. That is why it is dangerous when a child of God is not praiseful. It is wisdom to live a praiseful life. It will get God involved in your affairs. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me understanding to always get you involve in my matters.

“WHO IS INVOLVE IN YOUR MATTER DETERMINES THE END OF IT”

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.
