  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself. So, life is quite challenging because God is always attem...

A BELOVED

Romans 9:23-26
Devotional:- I will call them my people, which were not my possible, and her beloved, which was not beloved” (V. 25) KJV

    A part from the biblical use of the word beloved, which allows us to use it among believers, do you know that the greatest title any man or woman can earn in life is to be called beloved? This is someone you can probably refer to as your spouse. Your mother or your father cannot earn such a title. None of your sisters or brothers can fit in. None of your friends can as well fit in. This level of title is reserved for someone you are to him or her special. Someone you give unreserved love to. This is someone who has become very important and a treasure to you. As for this level of relationship, you are ready to invest anything. It is referred to as an intimate relationship.

Friend, I need to let you know that you are the one rejected and not worthy before God. But Jesus purchased you back to become the beloved of God (I John 3:1). Factually, you are not worthy, but God has decided to bestow His love on you. You are the most precious to God. That is why there is nothing God cannot do for you (Romans 8:32). Since you became a new creature by new birth in Christ, it has qualified you for this status in God.

Any time the enemy wants to cast your mind down, remind him of your status in Christ. “The beloved Christ” God does not refer to other creatures as beloved but man. It will only take new birth to come into this status. Please don’t allow condemnation of the devil in your heart anymore (Romans 8:1). Establish this in your subconscious mind: “I am a beloved of God." Do you know that God is always seeking your attention (Genesis 3:8)? Relate with Him as a beloved, and you will know His love.

Prayer: Lord, let me know your love in my life indeed.

“LOVE CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT CREATES THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR MAN’S LIFE.”

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.
