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...

IT IS FINISHED

John 19:28-30
Devotional:- “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit” (V. 30) NKJV

    No matter the battles or challenges we may be going through today, Jesus’ statement is the final. That will always be the endpoint. No matter what the enemy is doing in our lives, Jesus has said, “It is finished”. The strength of our faith is the revelation of God’s word to our hearts. If you could grasp an in-depth understanding of the statement, “it is finished”, then you are a perpetual winner.

When Jesus went to the cross, He did not go because of His sin. He went there to represent you and I. He suffered what we should suffer. God allowed it to be so to release you and me from the sorrow and troubles of this world. He became a sacrifice for our sins. And all the burdens of our troubles were put on Him. And since there must be shedding of blood for our sins to be removed, He shed His blood for us. (Hebrew 9: 22).

And when all things are concluded in heaven and earth, Jesus declared. “It is finished”. In other words, your sickness, afflictions, sorrows, troubles, etc., are finished. All that the devil may want to do against you are finished. The devil is just a headless snake. Jesus has swallowed his sting in victory (I Corinthians 15:54). So, whenever you are faced with any challenge, remember and declare, “IT IS FINISHED” Never say you are finished. Let this strengthen your faith to overcome. Refuse to get frustrated or discouraged. Always see the end of the battle from the beginning. It doesn’t matter what you are going through. "It is finished”. Embarrass the devil with this always and gain your victory. Say it loud, “It is finished”.

PRAYER: THANK YOU, LORD, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FINISHED ALL THAT WAS DEVISED TO FINISH ME.

“NO MATTER WHAT I AM FEELING, WHAT IS FINISHED IS FINISHED”

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 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.
