  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

AS HE COMMANDS

1 Samuel 15:10-23
So Samuel said: “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. (V 22)

    God is sovereign in all things. He is the alpha and omega of our lives. It is not when it comes to the battle and victory in life that He will not back us up. He is our creator. He has the right to direct us as His battle axe, we are to obey Him (Jeremiah 51:20). Failure to obey the commander, proves that you are rebellions and that can lead to total destruction.

Saul was made a king by God, yet God expect him to understand that He is still the commander. God expect that Saul should know that he is an instrument of battle in His hand. No matter your position or your level of wisdom, don't forget that you still have to do it as He commanded. He gave you all, and He knows how to withdraw them.

Saul eventually went to the battle in contrary to instruction, brought alive the people and those things God told him to destroy, and this led to the fall of Saul.

Friend, if you don't want to fall or fail as you go about facing life challenges, don't depend on your status or wisdom. Do it only as He has commanded. This is when your victory is secure and you will live without shame. This is when you can enjoy a lasting success. Don't forget that He is the master. Always ask for His leading and be obedient to Him. You will keep winning in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep doing all things as you command me.

“HIS COMMANDS ARE OUR COMMISSION INTO VICTORY”.

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.
