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...

LACK OF HELP

LACK OF HELP

Psalm 121:1-8
Devotional:- “I look up to the mountains- does my help come from there?” (V. 1) NLT

    God has not created man to succeed alone. He created us to need each other. And that is where help comes in. No man can achieve or attain anything without the help of God. No one can truly receive help from others unless God approves it for them (II Kings 6:27).

The statement of King David that we read today shows that he needed help and was looking to the mountains for help. Many people often don’t find help when they need it. Some don’t even know who to turn to at all, yet it is not the plan of God that we lack help.

To begin to enjoy the help of God, stop looking at the mountains for help. The mountain here represents people you know or the connections you have made for yourself. It also means having confidence in people. If you make people the focus of your help, you will always be disappointed. God should be the focus of our help. He will indeed use men, yet we should not see these men as the source of our help but God.

So, start to turn to Him in prayer, asking for His help and you will go out to begin to meet the help of Cod in your ways. Stop depending on men, start looking unto God for help. Soon your help shall be daily till you become great in Jesus name. (I Chronicles 12:22).

PRAYER: LORD, LET THERE BE DAILY HELP FOR ME FROM NOW.

“GOD IS THE SOURCE; MAN IS ONLY A MEANS”

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.
