  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...

PRESENCE OF GOD

PRESENCE OF GOD

Scripture Reading: Acts 16:20-31
Devotional:- “Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed” (V. 26)  

    Wherever God is praised, His presence will always be there. This is because He inhabit the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). God gives attention to His praises. In other words, praises is an invitation that God cannot ignore, especially when it comes from a right heart (Psalms 24:3-4). If any one wants to keep the presence of God with him or herself, the secret is praises.

Paul and Silas were on their mission field for God in Philippi. As the custom of the devil is, he entered some people to stand against them and they were put in prison. But in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas prayed and began to sing praises unto God. This action brought the presence of God into the prison. The prison foundation began to shake. Since no door could lock against God, all the prison doors were flared opened and all the prisoner’s chain were loosed (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Friend, all this happened because the servants of God prayed and sang praises to God. The presence of the Lord came into the prison and set everyone free. Whatever cage of life you may find yourself, learn to embark on praise galore. The Lord will step into your situations and destroy all factors of limitations. The Lord will fight for you and no one will hinder you anymore. Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to praise you in my situation.

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.
