  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

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”

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.
