  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

STANDING ON

Acts 27:13-25
Devotional:- “For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,” (V.23) NKJV

    Faith is standing upon the word of God. This is basing your calmness and confidence on what God said. You will know a man of faith by his measure of calmness and peace irrespective of the challenging situations he faces. He will not be moved by anything that is happening. Why? He has heard God and that He is enough for him. He is not fearful but calm. In other words, within him, he has overcome the war.

In the scripture we read today is a terrible situation that confronted Paul the apostle and all that were with him on the ship. There was a great storm that had been on for days and weeks. They have faced so much loss of property, wealth, and even confidence. But among them was Paul, he was not joining them to panic and expect death. He was standing on what God said, so he had peace. Because he had heard from God, he concluded, “There shall be no loss of life” (Act 27:22).

Have you heard God speak to you about your situation, either through your Bible reading or your pastor’s message? Friend, that is enough to deliver you (John 8:32). Stand upon this word of God and give up your struggles. God is up to His word. He will not say what he is not able to do, but you can allow or disallow Him by the state of your heart. Stop that fear; tell yourself if he has said it, He is up to it. Take your peace and see the salvation of the Lord. There shall be no loss.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always stand on your word.

“WHEN GOD SPEAKS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE SAYS, THEN YOU CAN’T DOUBT HIS 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.
