  PROMISES Isaiah 55:1-13  Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (V.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers are promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque capable of turning into cash. So when people who love us promise us, we cherish the promises. And when we remember them, it gladdens our heart. We even sometime feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One other terrible thing that is common with people is failing to fulfill promises. That is why it will be unwise to marry someone based on mare promises. These failure in promises of people, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength, or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises, so the promised often feel deceived. But God is not like man. He will fulfill all that He ha...

ACTION

James 2:14-24
Devotional:- “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead (V.17)

    Faith and action are inseparable. Wherever there is faith there will also be action. It is an inspiration through the word of God. You can’t be inspired by the word of God and not act (1 Samuel 30:8-19). The truth is that faith has its evidence in action just as wisdom is evident in physical manifestation. When a man is not taking action, it is because he has no faith. At the point of faith, everyone will be ready for action. It is a manifestation of the action that delivers every product of faith.

In the scripture we read today, God’s word confirmed to us that faith without work is dead. The word ‘work’ here is referring to action. The summary of this scripture is faith without action is not going to perform. If we truly believe that God is our source; if we believe that is our sure help, then the evidence shall be in our readiness to do well to others even in our unpleasant situations.

This is because we know that our help shall surely come and we shall surely come to praise Him. Step out to obey the Lord. Step into that vision. Start with the little. Step out to serve the Lord, to give in God’s house as God impresses on your heart. This does not reduce you. Be a blessing to the poor. Wear your new dress and be free from fear of not having a better one and God will keep

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to be out for you.

“UNTIL YOU STEP OUT OF THE OLD, YOU MAY NOT STEP INTO THE NEW”

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.
