  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...

LIVING BY INSPIRATION

LIVING BY INSPIRATION

Scripture Reading 2 Peter 1:16-21
Devotional:- “for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (V. 21). NKJV

    One of the reasons many children of God are not so encouraged in their endeavour today is because, they want to live naturally and expect a supernatural result. The truth is that, it cannot work that way. We need to live a supernatural live to experience supernatural result in life.

To live supernaturally, we must be used to living under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. That is why God allows the Holy Spirit to live inside us (John 14:16), so that He can be part of our everyday life. But most believers lose in situations because we confront life naturally. Since our lives must be to the glory of God, then, it can only be by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 10:31).

In our speaking and acting, we must learn to do this under the influence of the Holy Spirit. In other words, we are connected to Him every moment. We should allow Him to move us into action. Whenever He comes in, we are under the influence of the Holy Spirit. That way, we will be unique either in the house or in the office. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let the Holy Spirit live through me always

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.
