  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...

GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT

Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
Devotional:- “But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills” (V. 11) NKJV

    When a man is living by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it will be normal for him to manifest the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are what the Holy Spirit gives to each one whenever He comes to dwells in us. These gifts are in different ways by which the Holy Spirit manifests through us to carry out His assignments on earth.

The word of God says the Holy Spirit distribute these gifts to each one. So, when the Holy Spirit come inside you, he comes with either of these gifts (Acts 2:38). The virtue of these gifts manifest in each of us differently (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). Some manifest the word of wisdom. Others manifest the word of knowledge. Others manifest the gifts of faith. Some people manifest the gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophesying, discerning of the spirit, different kind of tongues, and interpretation of tongues.

Friend, since the Holy Spirit is the distributor of these gifts, then, you need consistent relationship with the Holy Spirit to manifest your own. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to identify your gifts in my life

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 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.
