  DON’T BLAME GOD James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (V. 13) NLT Today, there is so much confusion the enemy places in the heart of men to make them feel that God hate them. So, when people are under the pressure of the flesh to sin, they say “God is tempting me”. When people are weak, they are going to face temptation through their flesh. It wil be wrong to say God is tempting you with sickness or troubles. Yes, God knows about it but He only allows it when we have been warned repeatedly and we refuse to change. He disciplines, but it is necessary for us to know that God is not the author of evil, that is the work of the devil (Hebrews 12:6; Matthew 4:24).  There is a difference between a test and temptation. To test means to examine or observe if someone is capable of doing something. To tempt means to entice or lure someone into doing some...

HELMET OF SALVATION

HELMET OF SALVATION

1 John 5:1-5
Devotional:- “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith” (V. 4 )NKJV

    God is a victorious God. So, when a man is adopted into sonship with God, the spirit of victory enters into him. This is what a man receives at new birth. God’s word says, that as many as believe in Him, He gave them the power to become the sons of God (John 1:12). The power of God that makes a man to become a child of God comes with strength for victory. So God’s word says whatever is born of God wins.

The fact that a child of God is defeated does not remove the fact that he is a victor. The ability for victory is within but if it is not activated, such a person is to be blamed. That is why you as a Christian must understand that your birth in Christ enlists you for victory but you must arise to claim your salvation by faith.

This is done by growing your faith life. This is growing the nature of God in your soul by the word of God (James 1:21). Unregenerated soul is the reason for our weaknesses as Christians (1 Peter 2:11). For a soul to be regenerated, it has to study the word of God consistently to believe, think, and speak the word. Remember the state of your mind determine the state of your life. This is how to put on the helmet of salvation. Faith is becoming Strong in the Lord. This is living in the consciousness of your new family in God. Never look down on your new personality, this must fill your mind and you declare it everywhere. “l am a child of God.”’ And your life will be secure.

PRAYER: LORD, ESTABLISH ME IN YOUR SONSHIP.

“VICTORY IN CHRIST IS THROUGH INHERITANCE BY FAITH“

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 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.
