SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

SEA WALK

SEA WALK

Matthew 14:22-33
Devotional:- “So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus” (V.29) NKJV

    Let us understand that with God all things are possible. If only your mind can accept and believe it, then it can be. When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water, they were afraid, they thought He was a ghost. But Jesus quickly told them “It is I, be not afraid’ (Matthew 14:27). And now when Peter knew it was Jesus, he demanded that Jesus instruct him to come. Jesus commanded him to come. And he stepped out towards Jesus walking on the sea. As they both were walking on the sea, Peter later began to look at the sea, he removed his eyes from Jesus and began to sink. Jesus had to rescue him.

Any time men hear the word of Jesus, they do the unusual because faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Friend, it is the revealed word of God that bring inspiration to you and whenever you are inspired you can do anything.

Notice that there were some factors responsible for the miracle, Jesus commanded Peter to come on the sea and Peter focused on Jesus, and was not afraid (John 2:5; Hebrews 12:2). As soon as he lost focus on Jesus, Peter became afraid, and he began to sink.

If only you can keep your eyes on Jesus, and not on your circumstances, nothing will be impossible for you. Don’t walk on the sea for show but if you find yourself in that situation, refuse to sink. And Jesus will sustain you.

Declaration: This year I am riding above.

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.
