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...

WORRY AND ANXIETY

WORRY AND ANXIETY

Matthew 6:25-34
Devotional:- “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (V.27) NIV

    One of the most common challenges in the lives of people today is worry and anxiety. This has resulted in many people becoming sick. People worry virtually over everything. Most of us don’t know that worrying is doubting the ability or the power of God to sustain our lives.

People worry over what they will eat, what they will wear, and what they will acquire that has not come. People also worry about what their end would be. When most people go on a journey, they worry about how they will reach their destination. Even though a vehicle is made for only one driver most of the people in the vehicle drive with the driver. They pedal brake and turn steering hanging their eyes and heart on the road beyond that of the driver. Even the drivers are more at rest.

You need to know that this is a weakness that you must overcome to enjoy peace and success. To overcome this, you need to understand that the power of God is what sustains the earth. It is what controls the oceans. It is what sustains the sun and moon. Therefore, your matter is too small to handle for Him. He will provide all that you need. Learn to put your total trust in Him. By worrying over things, your need will not be met. By worrying you can’t stop the devil. Worry is actually the five senses ministering fear to you and fear will bring torments, and activities of the devil (1 John 4:18; Job 3:25). Learn to deny and ignore the flesh. Tell your senses to be quiet and your God is enough for you.

Learn to commit your life to God and let Him handle it (Psalm 37:5). Whatever God instruct you to do in form of ideas, do it (John 2:5). But at the points that it is beyond your power, ask him to come in. Your faith will bring Him; your fear will bring the devil. If you are not a driver commit the vehicle and driver to God’s hand and sleep off. Relax, God is in control. Don’t die of hypertension. There is a sweeter tomorrow for you; soon you will be flying in the sky with peace in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME THE GRACE TO REST IN YOUR HAND ALWAYS.

“THE AMOUNT OF YOUR PEACE IS EQUAVALENT TO YOUR TRUST IN GOD”

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).

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.
