  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

PURPOSE OF PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7
Devotional:- “And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."” (V. 7)

    God created us to praise Him for the purpose of Him been able to influence us. Every man is influenced by one thing or the other. It is either a man is influenced by the Spirit of God or the spirit of the devil (Job 32:8). At creation we see God pouring Himself into man (Genesis 2:7). God made us to be an influence over all His other creatures. But we can see from the life of Adam and Eve, how the devil came to influence them to sin against God. He seeks to do the same to all man and woman till now.

Isaiah was in the spirit and he saw the Lord (Isaiah 6:1). This was possible because He was in fellowship with God (Psalm 22:3). He saw the angels of God singing Holy, Holy, Holy. Prophet Isaiah said he saw himself unclean, but one of the angels took a coal of fire to touch his lips. That way, God influenced him to be a quality vessel for His glory.

Friend, until God keep influencing you for His glory, life will be with much difficulty. He influenced us by pouring Himself into us (Joel 2:28). He influences us by cleansing us (Isaiah 1:18). He influenced us by instructing us into destiny (Acts 13:2). He influences us by inspiring us to act in faith for achievements (Job 32:8). He influences us to be strong to conquer and to fulfill our destiny (1 Samuel 17:32). All of these acts of influencing happen in the places of fellowship and praises (Acts 13:2). Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, help me to always enjoy your influences over my life through praises

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 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.
