  FAMILY FORUM Hebrew 12:18-29  Devotional:- "to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,” (V.23) NKJV Every lovely family always has what I refer to as family forum. That is a period when the family comes together to care and share with one another. If you are going to enjoy the benefit of such family, you cannot be away and yet be having the best of the place. As a member of the family of God you must as well be regularly available in the fellowship with children of God. The bible refers to it as the church. The church is the body of Christ of which you are one. So deleting yourself from it will not make you enjoy the treatment Jesus the head gives to the body (Ephesians 5:25-30). You need to know that attending a fellowship, is not to mark a religious register of attendance but it is the coming together of the saints. This forum is always having the presence of Jesus the ...

SUBMISSION

Devotional:- “Submitting to one another in the fear of God” (V. 21)

        Most people look at the word submission as a statement of weakness. In the world, the word submission interprets surrender i.e., to accept defeat and submit to fate. So, most people struggle in life because they have dreams and aspiration they don’t know how to achieve. The truth is that until God is part of our race, it may be hard to achieve. The word submission in the word of God is living to allow the will of God to be done in all areas of our lives (Matthew 26:39).

The word of God says, we should submit to each other in the fear of the Lord. This is to allow the will of God to direct the way we relate. Whenever we are doing this, we are giving honour to Christ by doing what pleases Him. Whenever we reference and submit to each other, then, we are cooperating with each other. In submission, we respect each other. This is an act of letting the opinion of others count. It is willingness to listen and take counsel or correction from others.

To be submissive does not mean we don’t know what we are doing, but rather to tolerate and allow other people’s opinion. This helps us to foster unity and friendship. The word of God specifically asks the women to submit to their husband (Ephesians 5:22). This is to be done as unto the Lord. This will give your husband a mentality of leadership and headship. That will help you to observe and counsel him. By that, you will be his best adviser. It will therefore be wise that men also submit and listen to the advice of their wives. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a submissive Spirit.

“SUBMISSION IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, BUT WISDOM”

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.
