RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

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.
