PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

NEVER LOOK BACK

NEVER LOOK BACK

Luke 9:57-62
"But Jesus said to him, No one, having put hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (V. 62)

   

     Indecision is one of the characteristics of failure and can result to double defeat. So, a single focus is Important for anyone that will succeed. Every one that will enjoy the kingdom grace must be determined to follow, not withstanding. Most people that are found in the church today have not really come to a point of conclusion whether to follow the Lord or not to follow the Lord. Many are only attracted by bread and cake. Such people want to follow Him only when He is good to them. They will love Him as much as it is rosy and the going is well. One of their legs are inside and the other outside. Any little thing could make them tum back from following Him.

Though there is no time that God is not good to us, but God is always interested in building and training us for the challenges of the future. Most of such times look odd to us. And it looks as if God has deserted us. No matter how we see Him, He is always Good (Psalm 100:5). There are just two basic experiences in life: peace and trouble and God is the giver of peace. You are to decide what to enjoy. lf you are going to be a victor in the strength of God then you have got to take the decision to follow Him notwithstanding. Storms will come, wind will blow, but never allow your faith to be shaken.

Don't forget He is always with you (Isaiah 43:2, Roman 8:31). And that is why no situation can swallow you. Make the decision today and God will uphold you by His right hand (Isaiah 41:10).

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my focus on you alone

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.
