  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...

GOOD SHEPHERD

John 10:7-16
Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep” (V. 11) NKJV

    Very many people do not know that there are just two camps for all humanity. This is the camp of God and the devil: the camp of light and darkness, the camp of good and evil. No man is on the fence. And there are no middle ways. Those of us who are in the camp of God already must understand that Jesus is our shepherd. He is a good shepherd. If anyone is not with the good shepherd yet, he is with robbers and wicked shepherds (John 10:8).

A shepherd is known for his ever-caring attitude. No matter the season or situation, they are always around the sheep. The good shepherds will never leave the sheep carelessly. He will always feed them with the right food and clean them when they are dirty. Good shepherds always love. They love the sheep so much that they stay with them in the field. When wild animals come, they risk their lives to stand against and kill the animals to save the sheep.

That is why your safety is guaranteed because your shepherd is always watching over you (Psalm 121:4). No matter what may happen, you and your children are safe. He said even the hairs of your head are numbered (Matthew 10:30). If He keeps his eye on the sparrows, how much more His child (Luke 12:6-7)? He will never allow you to suffer (Psalms 23:1). If you are going through any situation now, it is for your coming glory. You are getting raised for a greater tomorrow. If you will always obey Him, He will make you lie down in green pasture and beside still water for your eternal beauty. Stay in His camp, and He will decorate you.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR LEADING FOR MY GLORY.

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.
