PARENT OF THE GREAT

  PARENT OF THE GREAT Exodus 2:1-10 Devotional:- “So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months..” (V. 2) NKJV. Anything you see that is great in life was incubated by some great people. If you can see anyone becoming great in life, you can easily trace the history back to the parents. I found something funny in this world: everyone wants their children to be great, but they don't bother to raise them for this purpose. People are wise enough to raise chickens for different purposes – some for laying eggs and some for consumption – but few are raising children with the purpose of leadership. We often expect the children to just grow and be great by luck or chance. If you observe great people in the Word of God, you can easily trace it back to their parents. This you can see in the lives of Isaiah, Joseph, David and others. I think it will be funny to sow maize and expect to reap yams. Moses, as we read today, was born...

CHILDREN OF GOD

John 1:11-18
Devotional:- “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (V. 2) NKJV

    Those who are born to great people on earth are always considered privileged. Many of us would have loved to belong to a particular family or the other if we had been given the privilege to make that choice. Many challenges in the lives of some people today are there because they wake up to find themselves in a family with one deficiency or the other. This has brought many limitations to the lives of many people in the world today.

I don’t know the particular situation you find yourself in now. God saw the need to link all family back to Himself, that is why He sent Jesus Christ to save the world, so that we can come to his lineage and no more the lineage of our earthly parents. We don’t have to suffer what our parents suffered.

Those who are children of God are not born of flesh and blood but of the word and Spirit of God (John 3:5). The water in that scripture referred to the word of God. That is why your fellowship with God’s word makes you grow to sonship. If you are born again, I congratulate you. People who are known as children of the president or governor count themselves privileged and how much more the child of the highest God.

Now the glory and honour due to your father is yours. He is great, you cannot be small. He is strong, you cannot be weak. He is a victor and you cannot be a victim. He is a successful God; you cannot be a failure. He is prosperous and you cannot be poor. You need to know that you now belong to a lineage of a great God. You have to start thinking and speaking like your father. Never expect the evil of your earthly parents to befall you again. You are now different (2 Corinthians 5:17). You are born of God (1 John 5:4). Take time to meditate on this truth till it sets you free. Declare it daily, “I am a son of God.”

PRAYER: LORD, LET THE LIGHT OF YOUR FATHERHOOD KEEP REFLECTING ON ME.

“YOUR IDENTITY IS A STRONG WEAPON IN THE SPIRIT REALM.”

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.
