  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...

EVERLASTING STRENGTH

EVERLASTING STRENGTH

Isaiah 26:1-7
Devotional:- Trust ye in the Lord, forever, for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength” (V. 4) KJV 

    A man may be strong today and may not be tomorrow. We have seen a one-time world champion be defeated like a weakling. This is because human strength has limitations. When a man grows in strength, it will get to a level; he will begin to decline. That is why we have seen great organizations suddenly collapsing. They have simply come to the climax of their strength.

But your God is the everlasting strength. God’s word says, He neither faint nor weary in strength (Isaiah 40:28). He is ever strong. Instead of getting weary, He even distributes strength to those who wait on Him (Isaiah 40:31). From ages past, He has been the strength of His people.

It therefore means His strength is strength indeed. As He has helped the people of old, He can still help us. His strength never diminishes. You and I can therefore put our hope in His strength. He can supply us with His victorious strength. He can sustain us. He can see us through. Whatever we may have to face, His strength is always there sufficiently. All you need to do is to put your trust in Him. Never trust in the strength of any man (Jeremiah 17:5). God’s strength is always sufficient.

Prayer: Lord, be my strength forever.

“THE CONTINUITY OF THE SOURCE OF YOUR STRENGTH DETERMINED THE DURATION OF YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP”

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.
