  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

MEN OF FAITH

Hebrews 11:30-35
Devotional:-“Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises stopped the mouth of lions’’. (V. 33)

    

    Faith is an essential weapon in the hand of those that will be referred to as victors. Our scripture today shows us the catalogue of men of faith who were victorious through faith. People who did extraordinary things on this planet earth, who fought battle and won. People who took their lives in their hands and yet never died. People who faced terrible situations and yet never defeated. We actually have much to learn of them.

The main and very common thing to these great people is faith. Faith is believing the word of God and acting on it accordingly. It is not bold-face but accepting God's word as true and taking steps by the instruction received from it. It is taking the word as it is and basing your life on it. It is only men of faith that can enjoy or receive anything from God (Hebrews 11:6).

Faith is a great virtue that all children of God must possess. God's word says "the just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcome the world our faith" (1 John 5:4).

The opposite of faith is doubt and fear. All this will not allow you to enjoy God in any form (James 1:6-8). Being afraid of your situation will only make you a victim (Job 3:25). Whatever He says, just believe it and continue to confess it. How or when He is going to do it is not your problem. He is committed to His word, and He said it will not pass away (Mark 13:31). Be ready to die rather than doubting God's word and you shall live to see it fulfilled. Doubt comes from experiences and situations but faith comes by the word (Romans 10:17). Tap into it from now for your daily victory. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to build up in the faith of your word for my victory

"A MAN OF FAITH IS AN ESTABLISHED VICTOR".

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.
