  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...

REFUSE DEPRESSION

REFUSE DEPRESSION

I Samuel 16:19-23
Devotional:- “After that, whenever the bad depression from God tormented Saul, David got out his harp and played. That would calm Saul down, and he would feel better as the moodiness lifted.” (V.23) MSG

    Due to the numerous challenges facing people in the world today, many are always depressed. This often happens to people when all their expectations have been defeated. This is because men refuse to acknowledge God in their understanding and try to make it by themselves. Jesus says without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

To be depressed is to be pressed down by prevailing circumstances. It is to be pulled down into self-imposed defeat due to unfulfilled expectations. It is to feel miserable and dejected. It is to be made sad or to be low in spirit. During such time, such a person will not be able to think well or make good decisions. He could even feel he doesn’t want to see anyone. Those things he loves to do will no longer appeal to him, and he could be feeling the world should even end. Such spirit was tormenting Saul the king but David was invited to sing and play the harp in praise of God in his presence. That will automatically bring God’s presence and fullness of joy will be the answer (Psalm 16:11).

Depression is therefore a product of ingratitude, worry, and sorrow. Anytime you feel heavy this way, seek to be in the gathering children of God where God’s presence will be vivid by true worship (Psalm 23:3). Where God’s servant will speak about God’s counsel, then His peace shall be returned to your heart. Hope will come again and your life will experience new joy and victory.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE YOUR FULL JOY INTO MY HEART.

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.
