  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

NEVER FORGET

Isaiah 49:13-17
Devotional:- "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you" (V. 15) NKJV

    Often time situations and circumstances make us think God has forgotten us. It may even look as if you call and He does not answer. Some people even feel God has no concern for them. But all these are feelings of ignorance of the nature of our God.

In the scripture we read today, God asked a question that can a nursing mother forget to breastfeed her sucking child. All of us know that except the woman is not with the child, that cannot happen. And God said even if they do, He can never forget us. You need to know that He created you for a purpose. And this is for His glory and honor. This makes you to be so important that it becomes impossible for Him to forget you.

Even if a man is wayward, yet God is always looking for a means of restoring him for His glory. No matter what your situation is you need to understand that He can never forget you. All things shall work together for your good at last (Romans 8:28). It shall at last turn to a testimony for you (Luke 21:13). I will encourage you to sow a seed of faith unto the Lord. It may be materials or your service to God. This is not to bribe God but to help you humble yourself and serve in His kingdom. You need to know that He made you to serve Him (1 Peter 2:9, Isaiah 43:21). Do it joyfully and from your heart. Your hope shall be revived for a glorious testimony and you shall be lifted.

Prayer: Lord, remember me and help me.

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.
