RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

DIVINE HONOUR

DIVINE HONOUR

1 Samuel 2:23-33
Devotional Verse - “Therefore the Lord God of Israel says:'I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.' But now the Lord says:'Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed” (V. 30)

    Everyone loves to be honoured. But people need to know that honour is in degree. There is an honour people give to you because they know you, and those who do not know you may not give you the same honour. There is an honour people give because of your look. But there is another one that comes because of the person they see you with or the office you represent. When you stand regularly in fellowship with God, you earn divine honour. This is possible because you honour God to be in fellowship with Him and people see you manifest the glory of God.

God said, concerning the family of Eli that they ought to carry the honour of God forever. But because of their dishonour to God, He said they can no longer earn His honour. This is because the children of Eli do not know God. Their lives do not portray the character of God. The character of God is developed in the place of fellowship.

Friend, it is important that you honour God in been available in times of fellowship with Him that you may keep your place of honour. Create a consistent time to personally be with Him. Make your fellowship time in church a priority and God’s honour will be on your life. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always honour your fellowship

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.
