  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...

INFLUENCE OF THE SPIRIT

INFLUENCE OF THE SPIRIT

Scripture Reading Acts 2:12-21
Devotional:- “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words” (V. 14) NKJV

    To be inspired is to be influenced by a spirit for an action. Under the influence of inspiration, you will surely step out to act. No matter how weak anyone could be mentally or physically, the influence of the Holy Spirit will push him/her out to action. This can be by the Holy Spirit or by spirit of the world.

Peter who used to be afraid and hid around from the leader of Israel rose up in the public to speak (Act 2:14). This was not the natural Peter but a supernatural one. The Holy Spirit came upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost and they spoke in the tongues of the Holy Spirit. The community got disturbed and said they must be drunk. But Peter was inspired by the Holy Spirit and spoke with such power that 3,000 souls were saved.

To be inspired is to be influenced by the Spirit of God. This will make your words irresistible. It will make you speak mysteries. The influence of the spirit will make you take actions that you were afraid to take. It will make you become a vessel of God and the glory of God will be revealed through you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to regularly be influenced by the Holy Spirit.

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.
