HE NEVER REJECTS YOU

HE NEVER REJECTS YOU John 6:24-40  Devotional:- “All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me]” (V 37) AMPC Sometimes we imagine God in our mind with the understanding and the likeness of men. We view Him as someone we have to really beg to ever experience His favour or help. The truth is that there are several reasons responsible for this. One of them is that man, by his nature, could reject a fellow man. So when we think of coming to God or returning to Him, we feel in our mind that we are too bad to be accepted. We need to understand that our feelings about God cannot be the best way to describe Him, like His word. Even though we feel like that, yet, the word of God, which is the truth, says, whoever comes to Him, He will never reject. He is never interested in the death of a sinner but that he repents and be saved (Ezekiel 18:23). This is part...

LACK OF PURPOSE

LACK OF PURPOSE

Judges 9:8-15
Devotional:- “But the olive tree said to them, 'Should I cease giving my oil, With which they honor God and men, And go to sway over trees?' (V. 9) NKJV

    One of the strongest weapons against the success of most people on earth is lack of purpose. This is a primary prerequisite to the fulfillment of all humans in life. We are often blindfolded with greed and what we want to gain, which shifts our focus from our purpose that would have aided our success. If only all humans would understand their purpose, then there would be no need for anyone to be envious of another. There will be no need for anyone to become an armed robber. And there will be no reason for anyone to be poor.

Each tree that we read about today, recognized its purpose and wouldn’t allow the distraction of becoming a king to pervert it. Please, understand that your purpose is not to be determined but discovered. Your God is the one that determines It

Purpose can be discovered in two dimensions. First is the primary purpose: which has to do with your purpose of existence; what you are here (on earth) to do or carry out. Don’t forget that this is the only factor that will give meaning to your life. The word of the Lord says, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21 NLT). Until you locate this, life continues to be a struggle. This first purpose can be located by vision and by observing things you find easy or enjoy doing most.

The second purpose has to do with what we do daily with a purposeful mind. This should be to bring glory to God, to demonstrate love to others, to learn and grow the character Christ, to be a blessing to others, and to win others to the kingdom of God. Aim at achieving all you do. Then, you will find the grace of God to excel. Every man is anointed for exploits in his area of purpose. Stop imitating others. Sit down and discover yourself. Discover what you like to do to bless others, this will help you to discover your purpose for living and you will be a blessing to others.

PRAYER: Lord, GUIDE ME TO KNOW MY PURPOSE.

“A MAN WILL ONLY EXCEL IN HIS PURPOSE”

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.
