  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

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.
