STAND IN

  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

WRONG ASSOCIATION

WRONG ASSOCIATION               

Proverbs 13:18-21
Devotional:- “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed” (V. 20) NKJV

    It is not in the plan of God that we live our lives in any form of bondage.

That is why Jesus came to set man free from whatever binds him (1 John 3:8). Some people see Christianity as a form of bondage, but that is not true. If there is anything that looks like that, it is to keep us from what will keep us in the bondage of the devil. That is why Jesus says, “Come unto me all you who labor and are heavily laden and I will give you rest”. Take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Mathew 11:28-30) 

Today, many people have put themselves in great trouble by wrong association and they can’t find their way out. This has put so much load on them. Through this, some people have been influenced into terrible and destructive habits. Some associations will even help people make money but they take eternal life from them. Some people have to do some terrible things because of the associations they belong to. Though those things are destructive to them, but they can’t help the situations. Every form of bad habit is contacted by bad associations. Even common sense shows that smoking and drinking are bad but people fall into this trap by association.

The way out of wrong and destructive association is to divorce them for the right one. But how do you know the right association? This is a fellowship of people who call upon God. If you don’t do away with wrong associations, your life and destiny are at stake. Association shapes the life of a man. Since you can’t do without an association, the way out is to replace it. Until you part with some people your life will never progress. If you don’t put an end to that wrong gathering, they may soon end your life (2 Corinthians 6:17). Call it a quit with wrong association and the help of God will begin to come to you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO QUIT ALL WRONG ASSOCIATIONS.

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.
