  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...

STATE OF HEART

Mark 11:20-26
Devotional:- “So Jesus answered and said to them, “have faith in God” (V. 22) 

    Even though God is so powerful and mighty many of us have limited the manifestation of His power in our life. This is due to the state of our mind. The state of the heart of a man is what determines the state of his faith.

In the scripture we’ve read, Jesus was expecting fruits from a tree and He did not find any, so He cursed the tree (Mark 11:14). At that time the disciples did not understand the power that had gone out with that word. But when they were coming back the second day, one of them noticed the tree Jesus cursed had dried. He then called the attention of Jesus to it. But Jesus said, “Have faith in God”. Another version said, “Have faith of God.” That is God’s kind of faith. He then explained God’s kind of faith. The word of God says if we speak to a mountain to move and we doubt not in our heart it shall be so. This means the state of your heart towards God determines how heaven will respond to you.

Friend, the state of your heart needs to be in a positive state all the time. That is why you need the help of the Holy Spirit. If you can just change your mind and decide to be positive and never negative (doubtful) you will always have what you are asking (Mark 11:23). Many are too pessimistic to walk with God. They always expect evil and negative. Please ask for the grace for a positive mind, your life has no option but to respond to your heart (Proverb 23:7).

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to grow a positive heart in my life.

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.
