  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Scripture: Isaiah 48:16-22
Devotional:- "Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” (V 17) NKJV

    As we aspire to succeed in life, we need to know that there is a spiritual direction to our lives. This is because we are a spirit man. We are made like God and God is a spirit. He who neglect his spirit will end up governed by a wrong spirit to a terrible end. Obedience to God is being guided by the Spirit.

Obedience to God has to do with our recognizing the importance of God in guiding us to our success (Psalm 23:1). These takes us to the need of we allowing the Spirit of God to govern our spirit. By this, we will live in the fear of God and cultivate our mind to obey what the word of God is saying. The Spirit of God will always lead us to love, to bless and for our favour.

For us to be led by the Lord to our blessings, we need to always acknowledge the Holy Spirit in us (Proverbs 3:5-6). We need to always worship God and pray to him from our heart. We need to regularly meditate on the word of God (Joshua 1:8). That is when our actions can be guided by the Lord. Knowing Bible is not enough, but drinking into the spirit of the word of God. This is what helps us to be able to obey the Lord whenever we are instructed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep a close relationship with you.

“OBEDIENCE BUILT ON THE WISDOM OF GOD WILL STAND FOREVER”

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 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.
