RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

TAKING INSTRUCTION

TAKING INSTRUCTION

1 Chronicles 14:8-17 NKJV
Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. (V 14)

    David the warrior has one interesting quality, despite his life being occupied with battles yet he was full of victory.

In all the battle he fought, there was no record of where he was defeated or fled from his enemy. God always give him victory. We can therefore learn one of the secrets of David for victory. He does not just rely on his own wisdom or knowledge of war. He knew God to be a master strategist. So, he learned how to take instructions from Him. We could see God asking him to go the first time and later asking him to hold on. This is because God’s eye can see your enemy’s camp. So, He know how best to catch up with them.

As a person destined to overcome, you need to have this wisdom from now. God is interested in instructing you on how to go about your ways, if you will ask Him. He can speak to you through diverse means, but in most cases through your mind. God is a Spirit. He relates with us through our spirit and our spirit relate with our mind to relate with the body. If you will allow God’s word to dwell in you richly, then it will become easy for Him to take over you. And when He directs you can’t fail.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always wait on your instructions

“HIS DIRECTION WILL ALWAYS BRING YOUR VICTORY”.

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.
