SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

GREATER THAN

GREATER THAN

I John 4:3-6
Devotional:-" ...and have overcome...because He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world." (V. 4)

    It should be very clear what the terms of your victory are. In the spirit realm, there are just two forces and not more than that. They are the forces of the devil and the forces of God. These are the only oppositions that exist in the spiritual realm, and there is no other party. The issue of who is stronger does not call for debate, as all know the great and strong one. And that is the living God. God created even the devil himself but fell by the curse of God on him (Isaiah 14:12–15). 

Are Any of these two forces that rule your life determines your victory. Since you have chosen Jesus to be your Lord and your Saviour, you have chosen the spirit of God. That is why darkness that is of the devil cannot overcome you since you are a light (John 1:5). You are therefore going to continue to be a victor because greater is He that is in you than He that lives in the world.

Friend, since you carry a greater God in you, stop looking at the power of the devil as though more powerful. It is the spirit in a man that determines his class. You are not in the class of the devil, so stop being afraid of him (Psalms 8:5–6). The greater one is inside you. And the Bible says, "If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:3 1). That statement is a question, and no one has ever responded to say, ‘I will’. They have not given birth to such one. See you are too much for the devil. Even when you are lying down, he is afraid to come close to you, and how much more when you stand. That is why you need to keep growing your spiritual muscles in the word. And you will always overcome.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me by your word for my daily victory.

“SINCE YOU CARRY THE GREAT ONE IN YOU, YOU WILL ALWAYS WIN”

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.
