  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...

STAY CONNECTED

Psalms 27:1-6
Devotional Verse - “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple” (V. 4)

    Every time you find the privilege to be in fellowship with God, you will be able to get the best of His presence when you stay connected. To stay connected means you don't give in to distractions. When you are personally fellowshipping stay there connected. When you are in church with other believers stay connected. It could be prayer time or worship or message or even offering time. In any of this time, refuse to be offline.

The Psalmist says “I desire one thing from the Lord that I may dwell, in the house of the Lord all the days of my life”. This does not mean taking the church as your house but ever connected to the presence of the Lord. Whether you are driving or eating or working in the office or among friends, don't cut off from Him in your heart. Set your mind at Him. What to do always is to keep beholding the beauty of the Lord in your mind. Don't let the eyes of your mind cut off from this. Also keep inquiring of Him on all you do (Proverbs 3:5-6).

That way, you will journey your life with God. He will always guide you to victory and favour. He will keep revealing His power to you. By this, you will carry the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You will open your mouth and wisdom will come out of it. And you will be an authority in God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace not to be disconnected from you.

“WHAT YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY CONNECTED WITH IS WHAT YOU ARE FULL OF”

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.
