CHILDREN OF GOD

  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...

OVERCOMING FRUSTRATION

OVERCOMING FRUSTRATION

John 21:3-11
Devotional:- “Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing” (V. 3) NKJV

    One of the terrible experiences of life is frustration. It is always the case when our expectations are defeated. Many are frustrated when matters come to a hopeless situation and they do not really know what to do. That is the reason we need to understand what causes frustration. God has not planned this for us. This only happens when we refuse to take to the wisdom of God or when we are not willing to wait patiently for God’s time and programme.

Let us learn from the story of the disciples we in the scripture today. They were ordained by God to be great evangelists on the earth just like you and I were also ordained. The earth was waiting for their manifestation. After the resurrection, Jesus commissioned them for the great manifestation but ignorance and needs will not make them rise. Peter the leader said, he was going for fishing instead of the work he was called into. The other disciples also joined him because they had the same intention of making money and becoming successful men like other. They were not really coming to the understanding and awareness of what heaven has for them (Hosea 4:6). And eventually they toil without result and come to a point of frustration. Frustration is waiting for everyone who will not be mindful of the calling and purpose of God.

Friend, to overcome this, you need to humble yourself and come back to Jesus. Allowing Him to re-adjust and order your steps. Trust not in your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Appreciate Him for His past deeds in your life. His joy will flow back to you. Let Him have His way in your life. Obey whatever He is asking you to do. And your story will start to change. Weeping will not help. There is a great future ahead of you, be willing to wait till your change comes. You will recover your lost glory and your life will recover speedily.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO LIVE ABOVE FRUSTRATION.

“MEN OF IGNORANCE AND IMPATIENCE ARE EASILY FRUSTRATED”

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.
