  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

A VICTOR

A VICTOR

I John 5:1-5
Devotional:- “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world." (v. 4)

    You need to bring yourself to the understanding of the fact that God creates all things and He is in control of all things. The Bible is the law of God, which already has all the plans and the agenda of God for all things from the beginning to the end written in it. Do you know that all that will ever happen has been concluded and written in the Bible? And what is written is written, for the scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35).

According to the unchangeable word of God, do you know that as a believer who carries the life of God, you have been declared a victor over all that will ever happen to you? That is why all that has been facing you has not been able to swallow you. And whatever you are going through now and all that you will ever go through in your life shall be surmounted. This is because you have the life of God in you. God‘s word says you’ve overcome the world (1 John 2:14). The scripture uses this phrase as a present progressive tense. And it means you can never be defeated. Even when it looks as if all is failing, it will eventually turn for your good (Romans 8:28).

This is because you have been declared a winner over every challenge you will ever face. The enemy also knows this truth but will always see to the possibility of shaking your faith and moving you to fear because fear grants him entrance to people’s lives (Proverbs 29:25, Job 3:25). That is why you must always stand your ground upon the sure word of God. Friends, the truth is that you are already a victor and a winner. Stop looking defeated. Stop looking like a victim. Stand in your victory in Christ by faith no matter the situation, and you will always overcome.

Prayer: Lord, give me the heart of a victor.

“YOUR VICTORY IS GIVEN; YOU ONLY NEED TO KEEP IT BY FAITH.”

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.
