  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...

OVERCOMING THE FORCES

OVERCOMING THE FORCES

2 Samuel 23:8-10 
Devotional:- “He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder” (V. 10) NKJV

    We are in a world of battle and you must be willing to face the fight if you are one of the winners. Jesus did not promise us a battle-free life and the way out will not be to back out. He that backs out of battle accepts defeat. God’s word says God will not allow temptation that is more than us to happen to us. That is why God never expects us to lose in life’s battle. He has kept in you what is more than what you are facing and potentials greater than your challenges (1 John 4:4).

In the scripture today is the catalogue of David’s mighty men and what they did. Eleazar the son of Dodo is one of them. In the record of the reign of David, he never lost any battle and these are the men that God used for him. When Israelites were facing the Philistines, they retreated from the face of their enemy, but Eleazar stood strong and defended the city until his hand and sword could not separate. That day, he got the victory for his nation.

Friend, your battles are not more than you. You need to rise and face them. Be it academic; business; family; finance or spiritual battle, never withdraw. He who withdraws will not win. Don’t forget that greater is He that is in you. Your problems cannot see your end; you will see its end. Don’t bother about the current situation; all shall change for glory because this battle has been fixed. You must win for Jesus is in you. Since Jesus has won the battle for you, you only need to carry a winner’s mentality because the victorious Jesus is in you (John 16:33). That is why it is written whatever is born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). That is talking about you. Keep acting on God’s instruction by faith and you will win.

PRAYER: LORD, I WILL SEE THE END OF MY CHALLENGES.

“HE THAT RUNS FROM BATTLE LOSES THE BATTLE”

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.
