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...

STORM

Matthew 8:23-27
Devotional:- “But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” (V. 26) NKJV

    Sometimes in the life of people, stormy situations could arise. This is often a period of total confusion. A period that the enemy wants to take advantage of. For one reason or the other, there could just be one form of problem or another all around. And it looks as if life is at the endpoint of life. It is a time when it looks as if it is finished for you. At such a time people may desert you and it may look as if you are the only one facing challenges on earth. In such a period many people ask: “God where is your face?” And we ask if He is still alive. Little do we realize that when a situation begins to turn so bad, it is just about to turn good. I don’t know what the situation is like with you, your work, family, finances, or academics. This happens to people when they see more of their situation and not the power of God available to them.

The disciples of Jesus had also faced stormy situations before. Though Jesus was in the boat, the disciples lost sight of Him. It is a period to test us before our triumph. The enemy is aware of the glory ahead of us and wants to see if he can frustrate us and turn us against God before the release of that glory (Romans 6:18-20). All you need to do in this kind of situation is to keep your eye on Jesus as your saviour (Hebrews 12:2). He will save you and preserve your glorious future; knowing that He shall fulfill them. Then settle down in your heart to see the force of God and His power around you. Always speak the word of God by faith to the situation. This will grow your faith, and then start to rebuke the storms one by one. Soon, there shall be great calm all around you. The enemy is only trying your faith. You will win at last and men shall marvel at your God.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN MY FAITH TO SEE MY CALMNESS.

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.
