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...

OUR SHIELD

OUR SHIELD

Psalm 84:1-12
Devotional:- “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (V. 11).

    A shield is an instrument of protection from the flying arrows. A shield is an instrument used at war by the army to protect themselves from the attack of the enemy. So, shield is a very vital and viable instrument. But as good as it is it cannot function by itself. That is why some soldiers can be destroyed despite the shield in their hands. Men of war must be strong for them to overcome despite the weapons in their hands.

But you know that sometimes despite the good weapons in the hand of a man he could become weak and may soon be defeated. That is why our protection as God’s children does not depend on our strength. God Himself is our shield. We therefore have a living shield and not non-living material. The strength of our shield does not diminish nor depend on our strength.

All you need to do is to trust in your shield. Believe that God is your shield as He has said in His word. And it shall always be unto you according to your faith. Always believe Him to protect you both in the house, while you are on a journey, or in the office or school. No matter what the world may be facing, you and your family shall be exempted. And your days shall be with peace.

Prayer: Lord, be my shield all day long.

“WHEN GOD IS YOUR SHIELD NIGHT OR DAY WILL BE SAFE FOR YOU”

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.
