A SINGING HEART

  A SINGING HEART Ephesians 5:10-20 Devotional:- “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” (v.19) NKJV Singing always, to some people, is equal to madness. Some believe that if you see a man who has never had a time of sorrow, then he is not a man. According to them, life must have ups and downs. But do you know that God want to simply make your days full of joy and void of sorrow. That is why Christ came to carry our sorrows away. If He has come to carry our sorrow away, then it is wrong to expect yourself to still be living in what is no more available (Isaiah 53:4). What the bible is teaching us today is contrary to what men will teach. God’s word wants us to always sing and be joyful. That is why God’s word says; rejoice in the Lord always and not sometimes (Philippians 4:4). Listen to this, if you want to be joyful and void of sorrow for the rest of your life, you need to pray it into your life. Sing...

FELLOWSHIP

FELLOWSHIP

Hebrews 10:19-25
Devotional:- “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” (V. 25)

    Most people always want to have one excuse or the other to absent themselves from the fellowship of children of God. Some prefer to be watching TV programmes rather than being in a service. Some easily stay at home because they have a friend who came to visit them on a Sunday morning. Most of the so-called Christians don't attend fellowship during the week for one flimsy reason or the other. They have underrated the services. So they become Sunday, Sunday Christians.

Little did they know that it is the trick of the devil to attract and to start ruling over them. Any time a lion is pursuing a group of animals in the bush, the moment one of them branches or turn to another side, it leaves the rest and pursue that one. The lion knows that since it is alone, the animal will soon be tired and be easy to catch.

This is the trick that the enemy is using for unserious Christians. Who look for excuses to stay away from fellowship. The word fellowship is from two words fellow-sheep" that is group of sheep. We are sheep of Christ (Psalm 100:3). The moment a sheep separates itself from the flocks, it could be harmed. It opens itself to the attack of the devil.

But there is power in fellowship. There is power in running together. You will find it difficult to get tired or be wearied easily. And together our battle can be easily won. In isolation, man may fall and it may be difficult rising (Eccl. 4: 9-10). It is in fellowship God's power is stronger with us. Be wise. You will not fall.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be committed to the fellowship of the church

"IT IS IN TOGETHERNESS WE ARE MADE STRONG".

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.

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).

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
