  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...

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.
