  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:21-31
Devotional:- “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”” (V. 31) NKJV

    It is important that you know strength come through your spirit. As muscular a man could be, when the spirit is out of him, he will lie down helpless. Strength is not just mental; it is only processed by the mind. That is why a man could be very intelligent but frustrated and helpless. It is the spirit that gives man strength, the mind processes it by thinking in the intellect decide by the will and carries it out through the emotional drive of the body. So, whenever you feel weak or you really cannot find enough strength to rise to action, the covenant responsibility is to wait on the Lord.

To wait on the Lord is to wait for His instructions or direction. His words are powerful (Hebrews 4:12). It comes with strength for execution (John6:63). This is what is called faith.

 We receive His word when we fellowship with Him: in worship and prayers (Acts 13:1-2). His word will come to us when we are praying in the spirit and meditating in His word (1 Corinthians 14:4; Psalms 1:1-3). Wherever His word is, His power is there (Ecclesiastics 8:4). His words transmit His power to man (Ezekiel 2:2). You will not be weak again in Jesus name. Peace.

 PRAYER: Lord, help me to always connect to your strength

“IT’S WHEN YOUR SPIRIT IS STRONG THAT YOU ARE STRONG”

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.
