  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...

COMFORT

Scripture Reading Isaiah 40:1-5
Devotional:- "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the Lord's hand Double for all her sins." (V. 2) NKJV

    Anyone who lives by the inspiration of God will always be a comfort to others. His words will be rich to the hearer. Not because of his qualification, but because of his connection to the Holy Spirit. A rich word is the one that offer you information to help you out of a situation or guide you to progress.

Our connection with the Holy Spirit helps us to become a comfort to others. This is because the Holy Spirit knows the intent of the heart of men (Hebrews 4:12). Most people will never tell you what they are going through. Even, when you want to help them, you don’t know how. But the Holy Spirit knows all things.

The Holy Spirit wants to use you to comfort others but you cannot do that on your own alone (John 15:5). Learn to ask Him for what to say to people always. You will suddenly become someone people like to hang around. You will also find comfort as you comfort others. You will become an instrument of encouragement to many. Discouragement is one of the strongest weapons to destroy man. Don’t just speak anyhow again. Don’t just speak like people use to speak. There are too many people around you in need of encouragement and God wants to use you. Let all your word be a blessing to someone. God will make you a comfort in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, use me to encourage the discouraged around me.

“COMFORT IS A KEY TO LIBERATE A PRISONED HEART”.

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.
