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...

SPEAKING THE WORD

SPEAKING THE WORD

Hebrew 4:8-12       
Devotional:- “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (V. 12) NKJV.

    Children of God have to come to an understanding of the power of the word of God. Many of us carry the bible in our hands without knowing the power in it. It is like a powerful weapon in the hands of a slothful or weak person, or a living instrument in the hands of a dead man. So, the word of God could be powerless if people lack understanding (Hosea 4:6). That Bible in your hands is the strongest weapon that heaven and earth have and recognize (Jeremiah 23:29). It contains the words spoken by God.

Don’t forget that the word of God creates the world and it has not lost its value and power (John 1:1-3). It is jealously guided by the Holy Spirit even when men are translating it. So, it can recreate your life, heal your diseases, and change your situation for good. You need to know that the Bible is the spoken word of God and since the time it has been spoken, it has remained alive and dynamic (Isaiah 55:8). It is as you take it that you will find the assurance of faith that will give you rest (Romans 10:17). If anyone will receive it to himself by studying and meditating in it, the word will enter him and his mouth will be full of it to change life and situations.

The word is referred to in Ephesians 6:17 as the sword of the Spirit. Always take it by studying it daily. So, when a situation confronts you, speak exactly what the word says. When you don’t doubt it you will see the result God saw, because the word is still alive. When Jesus was faced with the devil, He overcame by the word. “It is written” (Luke 4:8). Any time the devil shows up, face him with the scripture. He will flee out of your life. Make your voice that of the word, and the angels of God will execute it (Psalm 103:20). Don’t watch sicknesses and sorrow destroy your life and family. The word is your sword. It's your incantation. Take it, fight with it, and win.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO BE LOADED DAILY WITH YOUR WORD.

“YOUR MOUTH IS THE WEAPON TO RELEASE THE WORD FOR FURTHER MANIFESTATION”

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.
