FORGIVING YOURSELF

  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

LOCATING A KING

LOCATING A KING 

I Samuel 16:1-13
Devotional:- “Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." (V. 1) NKJV

    God is always in the business of locating rulers and kings. Since He is omnipresent and omniscient God sees all things and knows all things. He often prepares who will be the next ruler in every nation (Daniel 4:25). Not only does He locate and prepare, but He also appoints and enthrones. Nothing can be established without Him. He brings wicked rulers sometimes to discipline the people and righteous rulers sometimes to comfort the people.

When the Israelites were unnecessarily demanding for a king, He gave them king Saul who was not righteous before Him. Later, He brought David who was a man after God's heart and the best king of Israel.

You need to know that up till now God is seeking rulers over the nations. If you can comport yourself in loving the Lord and loving His people God can prepare and appoint you to be one soon. Stop living or doing things for money’s sake. Start to love to see change. Start to love to see your house, school, office, shop or the house of God get better. Be willing to pay the price of service. And God who sees will keep observing you. Soon, God will lift you and enthrone you for the salvation of the life of the people and His glory in your life. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to love to serve for my lifting

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.
