  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

WORRY

WORRY 

Matthew 6:25-34
Devotional:- “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin” (V28) NKJV 

    A life of worry has become natural with some people. It is even in the nature and tradition of some tribes in the world. People believe that it is the practice of the mature to be worried and when you don’t entertain worry to such you look careless. The disciples ask Jesus that question before, “…teacher do you not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38)

We need to know that caring is good but it is not the same as worry. Caring is assisting to put something back into shape while worry is getting tensed and disturbed because we are afraid that the situation may not succeed. So, worry is fear and doubt. You need to know that fear is the opposite of faith. Whatever is not of faith is a sin. God did not create us with tension. It is the deception of the devil.

Please learn to rather seek to know what to do and when you have done your best possible hand over the rest to God and take your peace. Please know that you do not know all things. Always seek God for a solution and take to His instruction. He will honour your little wisdom plus faith rather than worry and doubt. Stop committing things to His hand and still carry it about. Then He will prove His power in your life.

Prayer: Lord, help me always to trust things to your hand.

“YOUR LIFE MATTERS ARE HEAVIER THAN YOU AND YOU ARE NOT DESIGNED TO CARRY IT ALONE, LEAVE IT TO GOD”

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.
