  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

FATHER OF LIGHT

FATHER OF LIGHT

1 John 1:1-10
Devotional:- “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” (V. 5) NKJV

    Our God is referred to as the God of light. He dwells in great light (1 Timothy 6:16). He is referred to as the father of light (James 1:17). He is the creator of light. In this light is the strength and the life of men (John 1:4).

When the Bible referred to God as light it interprets quite some things of benefit to us. It means God is the master over darkness. Darkness here could stand for the devil, evil or wickedness. The Bible says the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5). In other words wherever God is, the devil, evil or wickedness cannot prosper there. When we dwell in God and He in us, the evil and the wicked forces of this world cannot overpower us. God dwells in you when you ask Him to come into your heart and when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).

Light also means understanding and brightness of the mind. From God comes understanding (Job 32:8). Every man is only strong or successful at the level of his understanding. It is the correct assimilation of knowledge that produces wise action. Light also means discretion for direction. The more you humbly relate with God the more your understanding will be. God gives understanding both for wisdom and discretion through His word (Psalm 119:115, 130). When you keep relating with God, the light of discretion will increase in your life. Why others are stumbling you will keep running and keep advancing. Stop walking in darkness. Whenever you are walking in sin, you are walking in darkness. Sin will make you a victim of darkness (1 John 3:8). Flee from sin (1 Timothy 6:11). Hate anything of darkness, they are unfruitful (Ephesians 5:11)., And God of light will make you succeed.

Prayer: Lord, shine forth your light over my life and destiny.

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.
