PROOF OF GOD

  PROOF OF GOD I John 4:12-16 Devotional:- “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us…”(V. 12) So many people today prove to be Godly. This is because it is becoming a noble thing to be Godly. This is the effect of the expansion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But many people have been trapped and disappointed by depending on the so-called Christian Brother or Sister syndrome. This is because we expect everyone who professes to be Christian and born again to just be honest and faithful. So we conclude on them because they are members orelders or pastors of the church.  But the Bible did not tell us that we will know them by their name or attendance in the church, but by their fruits (Matthew 7:15- 21). No man can give what he does not have. Anytime he wants to do so, he will give you frustration. What, therefore, is the proof of Godliness? It is love. If you observe the fruits of the spirit in the Bible, it is number one (Galatians 5:22). The scr...

BE STRONG

Ephesians 6:10-20
Devotional:- “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (V. 10) NKJV

    Victory in this world is not given just to the aged, it is given to the strong. Part of the New Testament Covenant of God for believers is victory (1 John 5:4). But believers must realize that spiritual strength is not what we acquire because we like it. It is a commandment of the Lord. God’s word says “Be strong in the Lord”. That is not a suggestion or an advice, it is a commandment.

It therefore means that choosing weakness as a Christian is a choice of disobedience to the Lord. Most of us have various genuine reasons why we don’t want to be strong in the Lord. This varies from office and business engagement to lack of time to grow in the Lord. But you must realize that those excuses will not be tenable when the battle of life arises.

Our scripture today shows us that we need to put on the whole armor of God, not some. These amours are itemized in the scripture we read today. Take time out to study each of them till you grow in them all. Some Christian only wants to grow their prayer life and not their word life. Others want to grow in obedience life and not their faith life. The entire syllabus is compulsory if you must win. Grow in them one after the other and your victory will be inevitable. Peace.

PRAYER: LORD, TEACH ME THE WAY OF YOUR STRENGTH.

“NOT ONE THING GIVES BIRTH TO STRENGTH, IT TAKES THE WHOLE”

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.
