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...

TERRIBLE BOSS

TERRIBLE BOSS 

I Samuel 22:9-19
Devotional:- “Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me." But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord” (V.17) NKJV

    People who do not understand leadership principles or work in it and yet are leaders are often found as bosses. Such people are not there to lead others by example but to destroy the company with their office. They are not ready to serve but only want to lord over others. They have no good plan for their company or nation but they are selfish in their thinking. There is nothing such people cannot do when the power is in their hands.

Some Christians find themselves in an office with such people in leadership and that becomes a challenge for such a child of God. Such Christians could be sent on any wrong assignment that would be against their faith. Such is King Saul we read about today. He was so terrible that he did not see it as wickedness to kill the priest of God. But some people under him still have the fear of God and they will not join in this evil

As a child of God, if you are faced with this kind of challenge around you, what you need to do is ask for the wisdom of God to relate with such a leader successfully. Let them know you as a child of God who will not compromise with unrighteousness. That will create a limit to the extent they will want to get you involved in their act. Always commit such leaders to the hand of the Lord. When you are to work with such a leader, pray that God clothe you with His fear and glory. Pray that the Lord will touch his heart before you get to him (Proverbs 21:1). Humble yourself also, but firm. Then you will see the goodness of the Lord. While others are shouted on, you will be humbly welcomed. Don’t join anyone to do evil because he is your boss. God will make you special to him. He will be afraid of God in you and you will be flourishing in famine.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE WISDOM TO STAND NOTWITHSTANDING.

“WITH THE WISDOM OF GOD, EVEN THE WICKED WILL HONOUR YOU”

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.
