  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

SECRET PLACE

SECRET PLACE

Matthew 6:6-15
Devotional Verse - “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (V. 6)

    The principle of secret place is part of the pattern of the prayer life of the children of Israel. They love to go to a solitary place to be alone with Jesus. This surely helps to concentrate and focus. This helps to put your mind together with God. The principle of out of sight is out of mind helps you to remove your mind from so many other things that could distract you.

Jesus has taught us to create a time of prayer and fellowship with God by staying in our room and locking our door. This does not mean secret court but it does mean you don’t display to people that you are praying.  You need to know that praying is connecting to God through a wave length, so you could create a jam by people looking at you and thinking contrary to your prayer. There are times for public prayers but that could be a warfare prayer and not fellowship.

In times of prayer, don’t call for attention or disturb others and don’t let anyone distract you. If you don’t have the space to be alone, then face the wall to keep your mind off other people or other activities. It is better for people to just keep seeing your result and not knowing when you are generating it. Then you will have quality encounter with God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let all my private prayer enjoy public testimonies

“NO PLACE IS SECRET FOR GOD TO HEAR 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.
