  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...

IT PLEASES GOD

Scripture Reading: Psalms 69:30-36
Devotional:- “This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull, Which has horns and hooves” (V. 31)

    Praises make a man’s life to please God. This is because praises involve humility and the fear of the Lord (Psalms 25:9-14). Praises open the door of the life of a man to God. Praises make God to be enthroned in the life of a man (Psalms 22:3). Praises make God to guide a man into his destiny (Acts 13:2). Having all of these experiences make a man to please the Lord in praises.

The Psalmist says, I will praise the name of the Lord with a song and magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull. In other word, a sacrifice of praises is more pleasing to God. The word of God says our worship become reasonable or acceptable when we praise Him from a surrendered heart (Romans 12:1). So, praises is an act of righteousness before the Lord.

The word of God says, when a man’s way pleases the Lord, even his enemy will be at peace with him (Proverbs 16:17). That is why the Bible says, if God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31). If praises is therefore what makes us please God, then sorrow and anxiety makes us displease God (2 Corinthians 10:12). So, chose to always praise God and your ways will always be pleasing to God. So that He can make your way prosperous. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your praises terminate all that displeases you in my life.

“GOD WILL ALWAYS GIVE HIS BEST TO A MAN THAT PLEASES HIM ALWAYS”

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.
