  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

BLESSING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

BLESSING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Job 1:1-10
Devotional Verse - “Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land” (V. 10)

    People who value and give themselves to fellowship with God are always enjoying the blessings of righteousness. This is because God’s presence gives us access into divine instruction in righteousness, and we also enjoy grace to obey Him (Psalm 23:3). As a result of our constant fellowship with God, we enjoy His presence with us. There, He hides us under the shadow of His feather (Psalm 91:1). This makes us to be untouchable to the enemy. God becomes a wall all around us and members of our family.

This was what job enjoyed as we read in the word of God. God said to the devil, my servant Job is righteous before me, but the devil said it is because of the divine protection and favour Job enjoys from God. These two-fold blessing will always be found with the righteous, divine protection and favour (Psalms 5:12). The grace to walk in the righteousness of God is contacted in fellowship with God (Matthew 6:33).

Friend, it’s important that you stop allowing excuses of “there is no time,” create time to fellowship with your creator regularly. And you will start to enjoy His protection on all you have and his favour in all your ways. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me a seeker of your righteousness

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.
