  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

THE LIVING GOD 

Devotional:- “As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father so he who feeds on me will live because of me” (v.57)

    God is the author of life, so, He is the living God. He is the one that gave the breath of life to the first man and life came into him (Genesis 2:7), All other gods may be lifeless but God is the living God. Very many heroes and prophets that men worship started living at a time and now have died and are no longer alive. But God is the eternal life. Even though Jesus had to die for our sins, the grave cannot retain Him for in Him is life and that is why He could resurrect.

Jesus was sharing in our scriptures today and telling the people of the need to feed on Him to gain the life of God. But they could not understand. To feed on Him Is to partake of the communion table, which is a figurative representative of His body and His blood. To feed on Him is to meditate on His word daily (Deuteronomy 8:3). Jesus says, that as we partake of this, the same life of God in Him begins to transfer to us. Since He is life, feeding on Him makes us have the life of God in us (John 6:53). It is the reason why as believers we have eternal life in us. That is why as a child of God, you must always partake of the communion table. You must always meditate on the word of God (John 6:63). And you will be able to retain His life in you. Refuse to give in to death in any area of your life, for He that is in you is the author of life.

Prayer: Lord, let your life be transferred into me daily.

“LIFE IS TRANSFERABLE BY BIRTH”

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.
