  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...

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

Scripture Reading Joel 2:28-32
Devotional:- "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions” (V. 28) NKJV

    For a man to regularly enjoy the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he must be baptized in the Holy Spirit. To be baptized in the Holy Spirit is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is because; it takes a cup that is filled up to overflow. To be inspired by the Holy Spirit is to be used by God to flow to others. The word of God says out of our lives shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:36-37).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit is what a believer must experience regularly. In Acts 2, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. In Acts 4, they were filled again. This is because, as we exercise ourselves in this world, we need to be refilled again and again. Not because the Holy Spirit can decrease, but it is our level of connection that needs to keep increasing.

To receive the Holy Spirit is by asking in faith that Jesus will baptize you (Luke 11:13). To be baptized is to be fully immersed into the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is everywhere. So, as soon as you ask, He comes into you. He then gives you the utterance to speak the language of heaven (Act 2:4, 1 Corinthians 14:2). Just continue to speak till you are totally immersed. Then, He will always inspire you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, envelope me into your spirit afresh

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.
