PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

  PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY Ephesians 2:14-22 Devotional:- “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (V. 19) It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever (Rom 12:5). Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever. Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her (Ephesians 5:25).The church is called the bride of C...

AVOID FALLING

AVOID FALLING

2 Samuel 11:1-5
Devotional:- “Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold” (V. 2) NKJV

    All of us must have this registered in our mind that the enemy is not only aiming to attack us but to also bring us down totally. What does it mean to fall? It is to be pushed or lured into sin. The devil is always looking for a way to make a man that is standing to fall. He is much after the leaders especially. He is aiming to destroy their testimonies and stain their glorious garments. God’s word says he came to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We don’t need to be afraid of this but be watchful.

In this pathetic story, David a man God so much cherished, loved, and held in high esteem fell. Why? You could observe that he was idle. While others had gone to war, he was relaxing at home doing nothing (Amos 6:1). An idle hand is always the devil’s workshop. Idleness makes you see what you are not supposed to see and gets you involved in what does not concern you. Many have thereby implicated themselves. You can always turn back no matter how far you have committed yourself to wrong thing. However, the power to say “No” is already in you. An attempt to cover up will be disastrous. Since David committed the sinned adultery, his attempt to cover up led him to commit more errors.

Friend, enough is enough. You need to put a stop to those wrong steps if it will not put a stop to your life. Sin kills. Learn to control yourself in every situation. Be mindful of what you are watching and hearing. When wrong things are shown on your screen, take the responsibility to turn off the station. Discipline your heart and your eyes even in the office. Be content with what you have. Grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It is all deceit. Don’t enjoy a little sin to damage your heart and peace. The shame of falling is not easily erased. Why don’t you avoid it, and stand strong? May you receive the grace

PRAYER: LORD, UPHOLD ME BY THE POWER OF YOUR SPIRIT.

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.
