  CHILDREN OF GOD I John 3:1-3  Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V.1) NKJV One of the unique things on earth is that, each one belongs to one family or the other. Some are from a great family, their name sounds great, and others are from a family that is not well-known. The truth is that, the lineage each of us belongs to, sometimes speaks and shows in our live. Those who are seen as children of great people in the world are often counted as privileged. But the scripture we read today is aimed at making you appreciate the privilege of being a child of God. It doesn’t matter whether you are born into a great family on earth or not. God has decided to bestow His love on you by calling you His child (Galatians 4:7). This is the greatest family in heaven and earth. The moment you are born again, you are born of God (John 1:12). Not of...

HAVING PEACE

Isaiah 48:12-22

“Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea” (V.18) NKJV 

    The world today is fast losing grip of peace. So many terrible things have become instrumental to the destruction of the peace of the world. Even media news has become a factor that reduces peace. So many wicked acts are carried out regularly and most men have no peace in their lives. With all the security in the world today, men still lack peace. The development of technology should have reduced insecurity but it is rather multiplying the panic.

For anyone to enjoy peace, he must identify the source of peace and that is Jesus Christ. He is called the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). We also need to understand the channel of peace, and that is obedience to the instructions of God. When a man is disobedient to God, he will surely lose his peace. That is why you must be obedient to all instructions of God. Another factor of peace is trusting in the Lord. That is, totally putting your hope in the working power of God and His promises as you do your work. If you also want peace, learn to sow peace. Whatsoever you sow, you shall reap. Seek peace with all men (Heb. 12:14) and your life will start to enjoy the peace of God. Learn to totally depend on God. He is able to keep you to the end and your life shall be peaceful.

PRAYER: LORD, LET YOUR PEACE REIGN IN MY LIFE.

“PEACE IS A PRODUCT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE GOD OF PEACE”

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.
