  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...

FATHER’S MINISTRY

FATHER’S MINISTRY  

John 15:13-17
Devotional:- “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you” (V. 16) NKJV

    We know so much about the ministry of the Son and the Holy Spirit, but much has not been known of the Father's ministry today. We need to know that God has not created anyone to suffer, struggle, or carry life challenges alone. God did not fashion life for struggle. Men only struggle because of ignorant of the order of life.

The truth is that you are not created to struggle. God has given you some measure of ability but when you exhaust it, you are to turn to your father. Woe to him that lacks a father for when he is exhausted he will live in frustration. You should learn to pass the baton to the father

A father is someone who knows more, sees more, has more, and can do more (John 14:28). God is our father (John 20:17). He is greater. Men of God are His representatives on the earth. So take advantage of them.

To enjoy His ministry in your life be responsible. Learn to exploit all the strength spiritual, mental, and physical that God's word has given you. But when you don't know what next to do, turn to the Father (Matthew 7:11). He knows your needs. Where your strength stops, His starts. He has made a way of escape for you (1 Corinthians 10:13). Cast all your anxiety on Him. He is capable (1 Peter 5:7). When you have cast it on Him in prayers, don’t carry it again. Believe in your heart that He is able (2 Timothy 1:12). Hannah believed and her story was turned around (1 Samuel 1:18) It is your turn!

Prayer: Lord, help me to start knowing you as my father.

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.
