PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

GOD’S PRESENCE

GOD’S PRESENCE

Psalms 16:1-11
Devotional:- “I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved” (V. 8) NKJV

    One of the weapons of faith all God’s children must carry in their minds is the presence of God. God promised that He will be with us in whatever situation we may be (Isaiah 43: 1-5, Matthew 28:19). But this will have no effect if left in our bible and not established in our spirit. You need to let it be settled in your heart that God is with you, and this will produce great power in your heart.

King David just showed us one of the secrets of his consistent victory and that is the consciousness of the presence of God (Psalms 23:4). No wonder he could face Goliath (1 Samuel 17). No wonder he could get the foreskin of the Philistine (1 Samuel 18:20 -27). He was always aware of God’s presence so fear was not his lifestyle.

If you also always live with this consciousness from now on, then you will sleep by faith, wake up in great joy and strength, launch out into each day with assurance, and face those challenges with an assurance of victory. Make this simply a cloth to wear for your mind. “The presence of God” and you will always overcome.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be clothed with your presence.

“WHEN YOU ASSURE YOUR MIND OF HIS PRESENCE, IT WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU PEACE”

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.
