  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

COURAGE 

Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9
Devotional:- Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. (V 6) NKJV

        Courage is the act of willingness to dare the impossible. It is facing situation notwithstanding the fearful nature. Though it has a little difference from faith, yet, we need the two. When you see anyone achieving anything great, he/she is just in the attitude of courage. Everyone who want to be successful must build up the habit of courage.

God said to Joshua “you will need to be courageous”. This is learning to act in strength not withstanding terrifying situation. In the course of pursuing your course on earth, some challenges will arise. The purpose of these challenges is to intimidate you to stop (1 Samuel 17:33-34; Nehemiah 6:8-9). When people see a vision taking off, they all rejoice. But when they see it going beyond what they expect they become jealous. So, get ready.

 

To build up in courage is to be willing to stand in Christ, till you win. He is the solid rock. It is to load your mind with revelation of the word of God (1 John 4:4; Romans 8:31). Be ready to face your fear. You will discover it is just an intimidation. There is no one who will not be intimidated but if you want to be a success, you won't mind it. Fear is a lie. Fear is a weak attempt to stop a true giant in you. Don't give in. Peace.

 

PRAYER: Lord, let the giant of the Holy Spirit always arise in me.


“EVERY CONQUEROR ALWAYS ACT IN COURAGE”

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 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.
