  NOT AN ACCIDENT Isaiah 44:1-5 Devotional:- “Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: 'Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen” (V. 2) In discovering the purpose of your creation, it is important that you know that you did not evolve accidentally. You are a product of the conscious plan of God. The word of God says before we were formed in our mother’s womb, He knew us. This means, before you were in the womb of your parent you were first in the womb of the mind of God (Jeremiah1:5) God prescribe every single detail about your life before you were made. You colour, skin, hair or your race. He determines your skills, your uniqueness or your natural talents (Psalm 139:15). Your parent may not have planned your birth but God did. He chose your mother and your father to form the blood group He wants for you. He makes sure that you are raised in the right community and your background. All these things were determined...

AUTHORITY

AUTHORITY 

Luke 10:13-24
Devotional Verse - “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (V. 19)

    It is the level of fellowship a man has with God that will determine the measure of authority he will be able to exercise in life. Authority is not something that anyone can just handle. It is in the place of fellowship that God will be able to test us before He can trust us with authority. This is because it is more than one person. It involves the participation of the forces to enforce the authority. That is why the Bible says we should not say we are sorry before the angels (Ecclesiastics 5:6).

Before God could hand over the scepter of authority to Moses God had to bring him into fellowship first. Jesus only gives authority to His disciples and not the crowd. The truth is that authority is always delegated. So, before you can be trusted not to misuse it contrary to the expectation of the owner, you must have been in quality fellowship to earn that trust.

Friend, you need divine authority to gain dominion over the forces of this world. That is why you don’t see fellowship with God as unbelievers sees it. They don’t think of the power and the benefit. They think of money. At one time or the other, each one will face challenge. You need authority to keep overcoming. That is when you will not be humiliated or embarrassed by the wicked one. Receive grace. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace of fellowship for my authority.

“AUTHORITY IS ONLY FOR MATURE FELLOW IN THE SHIP.

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.
