  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...

CREATE A THIRST

CREATE A THIRST

Psalms 63:1-8
Devotional Verse - “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water” (V. 1)

    To be able to enjoy God in regular fellowship a man must generate a thirst for God. In the course of doing this, your friends are bound to nickname you ‘Pastor’ This is because it is not the way of the world. The world often creates fellowship at a club house or beer parlor. But you are creating one with your God. That is why many people will be used by the devil to try to stop you. The devil knows that you will gain dominion over him. That is why it must be a strong decision to become a Christian who regularly fellowship with God.

The word of God told us how David was thirsty to always be in fellowship with God. He said, early will I seek you oh Lord (Psalms 84:2; Psalms 143:6). This is what it takes (Isaiah 26:9; Proverbs 10:24). God is only available to those who need Him with all their heart (Jeremiah 29:13). It's not everyone you see in church that is ready for God. So, you cannot follow people to serve God.

Friend, the time has come to add color to your Christian journey. This is by being thirsty for God. Most of the things that drive you around will be settled in His presence and you will enjoy a life of prosperity. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, create in me a thirst for your presence.

“IT IS WHAT YOU ARE THIRSTY FOR, THAT WILL SATISFY YOU”

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.
