  WORSHIP John 4:10-26 Devotional:- “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (v.23) NKJV Many of us have not come to the level of understanding that God is more interested in building relationship with us than in meeting our needs. Actually, He desires to meet our needs, but fundamentally, He wants a relationship first. That is why most people don’t have a constant response from God, because He has discovered that they are much more after His gifts and not after Him as God. So also when Jesus discovered that people were following Him for the sake of fish and bread, He quickly discouraged the act (John 6:25-27). One of the things that God strongly desire from human race is our worship. Not because He wants to show that He is God, but because He knows that it will help Him build a relationship with us. Observe that God called David a man after His heart. One of the reasons...

TAKING THE WORD

TAKING THE WORD

Ephesians 6:1 0-18
Devotional:- “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God” (V. 17)

    God’s children today need to know that faith is a work and we need to labour to enjoy its manifestation (Hebrew 4:11). We will need to labour

To enter into our rest in God. Faith is that labour. We need to know for instance, faith will not just be there in our hearts and we need to learn how to generate it. If not, it could fail. Just like a power-generating set cannot supply energy until it has generated it, so is our faith. It has to be generated to deliver.

To generate faith demands that you take the word. That is, you consciously sit to locate God’s word that addresses your situation and meditate on how it solves the problem. This is because faith comes from the word of God (Romans 10:17). The word that transports faith in many cases is the word God speaks into your spirit. It takes obedience to the word to deliver a sure result. When you receive a word from God, and then meditate on it you will find a quickening power of the word active in your heart (Joshua 1:8). At such time you are also sure your result shall be a success.

When you face a challenge, the first thing to take is the word. The first question to ask is, Lord, what do I do? That is why your spiritual ear must be sensitive to hear God in every situation. Don’t wait to train to hear God only when there is a need. This you should do in every situation. Then you will be used to it (Proverbs 3:5-6). Your ear of the spirit will be opened when you create time regularly to fellowship with God with an open mind. When you can get this right, you will surely get the expected result. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always hear the word in my situation.

“UNTIL YOU HAVE THE WORD FOR THE SITUATION, YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
