  LIVING WITH PURPOSE Proverbs 19:16-23 Devotional – “You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail” (v. 21 NLT) Living on purpose is the only way to really live; everything else just merely exists. Most people struggle with these three questions in life; WHO AM I? (Identity); WHY AM I MADE? (Purpose); WHAT IS MY PLACE IN LIFE? (Impact). The answers to these entire questions are found in five Gods purpose for you. Now that you know God’s purpose for your life, it is important you live in it. For you not to drift away from the most important things of life, it is important to develop a purpose statement for your life and regularly review it. This is a statement that summarizes God’s purpose for your life (Psalm 39:11). It is a statement that point the direction of your life (Proverbs 4:26). It spells out what you are to do and what not (Proverbs 17:24). It is a statement that defines success for you (Philippians 1:10). It is a statement that clarifies your roles and i...

LABOUR OF FAITH

LABOUR OF FAITH

Hebrews 4:1-12
Devotional:-“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (V.11)

    Most believers have not come to an understanding of the need to labor in the word of God. Everyone wants the strength and exploit of the word of God but not ready to labor for it. Laboring in the word of God is simply studying meditatively to know the truth of the word of God.

Apostle Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved by God (2 Timothy 2:15). The bible says the word of God should be rich in us (Colossians 3:16). But this takes some measure of labor. So many Christians today cannot explain a verse in the bible but can narrate all films in town. Some don’t search the scripture at all not to mention having an interest in attending bible study or school. Laboring in the word of God is not only for the pastors but for everyone who wants to grow strong in the Lord and enter into rest. The Berea church was known for this (Acts 17: 10-12).

From now when you contact a scripture either in church or during personal study time, search to know it more. Study it to have better understanding of it, and you will be a strong person of faith. You will have rest over what troubles others. And gain the strength of knowledge (Proverbs 24:5). Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me love for your word.

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.
