GOOD SHEPHERD

  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...

HOLY SPIRIT

HOLY SPIRIT 

John 16:5-15
Devotional:-“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come” (V.13) NKJV

    It should be settled in your heart that you are a spirit being. You are not just an ordinary flesh like a mere animal. You are more than a mere biological being. Please know that one spirit or the other influences each man. Two major spirits control life; the spirit of God and the spirit of the enemy. No one is free from either of these spirits. No neutral ground and no vacuum. All of us have either of them.

Jesus came to deliver men from the influences of the evil spirit and to baptize us with the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11). The Lord wants you to experience the same baptism. You cannot receive the Holy Spirit just by going to the church but by asking for it (Luke 11:13). That is why many so-called Christians are still with the spirit of the enemy. The truth is that no one can be a child of God except the Holy Spirit is dwelling in such (1 Corinthians 12:3). When you have the Holy Spirit, you can easily use the weapon of God.

To receive the Holy Spirit, you must desire it with a thirst for Him (John 7:37-38). Then create time to set yourself apart to ask Him (Luke 11:13). As you ask by faith, He will baptize you. That is, you will be full of God’s fullness. Notice that you are the one to open your mouth to speak. Speak and He will fill it (Psalm 81:10).

Prayer: Lord, baptize me with your Spirit.

“IT IS EITHER YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OR ANOTHER SPIRIT”

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.
