  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...

DIVINE INFLUENCE

DIVINE INFLUENCE

Proverbs 13:11-20
Devotional Verse - “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed” (V. 20)

    A wonderful blessing, we get from divine fellowship is divine influence. This makes us different when we come from a place of fellowship with God. God’s gracious influence shows on all that we are doing. We become carriers of the divine grace and we manifest His glory, just because we are in fellowship with God. When Moses returned from the presence of God his face was showing the glory of God (Exodus 34:29).

The word of God says he who walks with the wise shall be wise but those who walk with fools shall be destroyed. The reason for the different results is because of the different influence on the life of either (2 Corinthians 3:18). This is what happens to us when we are in constant fellowship with God. He influences us with grace and wisdom.

Friend, when you stop taking the fellowship of God like a normal club or gathering to see your friends, then your life will start to change. You need to humble yourself to let God impact your life. Open the doors of your heart to Him. You will start to see positive changes in your life. If anyone is fellowshipping with God and not changing, he/she must be having dual fellowship (2 Corinthians 6:14-18). Focus and be constant with God and you will be changed.

PRAYER: Lord, let my life be influenced for your glory

“ALL HUMAN ARE INFLUENCED BY FELLOWSHIP SOMEHOW”

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.
