ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Mark 9:14-27 Devotional:- “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (V.23)           We need to come to the awareness of the potency of the God we serve. He can do all things. He created the heavens and the earth. He created the mountains and the sea; He parted the Red Sea; He brought water from the rock and what else can He not do? If you see any great and good thing happening in the life of anyone today, it is through Him and there is nothing He cannot do (Luke 1:37, John 3:27).

SURRENDER TO GOD

SURRENDER TO GOD

Scripture Reading: Romans 12:1-8
Devotional:- “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him” (V. 1) NLT

     Praises is an act of surrendering to God. When people surrender in battle, they hand up. That is why we lift up our hands when we are praising God. It's a pity people do that today without knowing the meaning neither do they mean that (Psalms 63:4; 134:2). Lifting up of hands mean to surrender to an authority recognized as superior.

The word of God ask us to surrender our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. The word of God says this is the true way to worship God (Romans 12:1)NLT. So, it means worship and praises will not be sincere if we don't first surrender. People who worship without surrendering are known as pretenders. Their heart is not true. Their intention is corrupt (Mark 7:6). But this is what most people do often. They lift up hands in the place of worship but they disobey God at will.

Friend, the time has come to make up your mind to surrender to God. Give yourself sincerely as a living sacrifice to God. This means you have to be dead to self but alive to God (Romans 6:1-6). Self is the mentality we have grown up with in our culture and tradition that is contrary to the will of God (Romans 12:2). The Bible says we should unlearn those things. To be dead to self means to be separated from the lifestyle that is contrary to the word of God. This is what it means to be praiseful. This is what it means to be obedience to God and to live in righteousness. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to truly surrender to you

“LIVING IN CONSISTENT OBEDIENCE IS THE SIGN OF TRUE SURRENDER”

YOUR CLAIM Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20 Devotional:- "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool” (V. 18) NKJV      All God’s children have the right to the covenant provision of God (Galatians 3:13-14). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has purchased for us a right in God. God’s covenant is therefore for our claim as the prodigal son demanded for his portion.

NOTHING IS FREE Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-14 Devotional:- "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth” (V. 1)      You need to know that all the blessings of the word of God are all yours by the blood of the Covenant (Zechariah 9:11). As much as all God’s promises are available to all children of God, please know that they are all attached with condition which is the nature of covenant.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
