PROOF OF GOD

  PROOF OF GOD I John 4:12-16 Devotional:- “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us…”(V. 12) So many people today prove to be Godly. This is because it is becoming a noble thing to be Godly. This is the effect of the expansion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But many people have been trapped and disappointed by depending on the so-called Christian Brother or Sister syndrome. This is because we expect everyone who professes to be Christian and born again to just be honest and faithful. So we conclude on them because they are members orelders or pastors of the church.  But the Bible did not tell us that we will know them by their name or attendance in the church, but by their fruits (Matthew 7:15- 21). No man can give what he does not have. Anytime he wants to do so, he will give you frustration. What, therefore, is the proof of Godliness? It is love. If you observe the fruits of the spirit in the Bible, it is number one (Galatians 5:22). The scr...

GRATEFULNESS

GRATEFULNESS

Genesis 35:1-7
And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. (V 7)

    A wise man is always grateful because he knows that his strength is not always in his potentials but by making use of opportunities around him to achieve success. A lot of times we succeed because God is involved in it. It is therefore wisdom to you when have such understanding. This will help you to always be thankful both to God and to men.

Jacob had so much trouble at the beginning of his life that he had to run away from his father’s house. It was in the midst of this trouble that God spoke to him and promised to see him through his journey. He (Jacob) then promised to appreciate God on that spot where God spoke with him, if he could return to the place. And God kept him and he returned to appreciate the Lord.

It is often said that, he that appreciates for the good of yesterday will receive another. And that he that does not know how to show appreciation is like an armed robber who carted away one’s belongings. Please understand that being grateful is an act of wisdom. Stop murmuring or complaining. It brings destruction (Malachi 2:2).

Stop comparing yourself with others. It is not a wise attitude (2 Corinthians 10:12). You will keep rising in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always walk in the wisdom of gratitude

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.
