FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

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.
