GREATEST FATHER

  GREATEST FATHER John 20:11-18 “Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” (V.17) NKJV   Though there is a great number of males in the world today, there are few true fathers. Men who can be referred to as good fathers are rare. This is the reason for the breeding of terrible children in today's homes. Many children don’t even know what it is to have a father. That is why when God is referred to as our father, it does not interest some of us in any form. We only look at Him as one of those absentee fathers in the world. In the scripture we read today, Jesus died and resurrected again and purchased us back to God by His blood. The first person He met after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene. He was glad to share with Mary the good news of God becoming our Father through His death. He probably would have expecte...

HEIRS OF GOD

HEIRS OF GOD

Galatians 4:1-7
Devotional:- “Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (V. 7) NKJV

    A slave is different from a son. A son bears the name of his father and has access to the father and all that he has. But it is not so with the slave. You hardly see the son of a great man suffering except he is not a legal son or disobedient to his father. The truth is that you are not to suffer as a Son of God. It is not your portion to be sick, fail, or be sorrowful. It is so in the life of many children of God because, though they are heirs of God, they refuse to grow to be sons. This is not gender-based but maturity-based.

The scripture we read today says the heir is not different from a slave as long as he is a child (Galatians 4:3-4). Though he owns all things, he is under the control of others. At such a time, even the slave could determine and control his life. That is why many Christians today are not in control of many good things in life.

Friend, the scripture is the book of truth. The truth refers to you as the heir of God. But you have to grow to maturity and become a son from a child. That is when you will be bold to take your place in Christ. What makes you grow in Christ is your fellowship with God through His word. That is, daily taking the word of God as food (Luke 4:7). Your fellowship with God in prayers, your fellowship with the church (Hebrew 10:25), and your obedience to God’s instructions are important. Let your fellowship with God be with meditation.

If you remain a child in God, it is a trick of the enemy to deprive you of your heritage in Christ. Don’t be a distant child from God; you will be suffering like the world (Psalms 82:5-8). Stop behaving like a bastard. Grow up in Christ, and your heritage shall fall into your hands. Wake up!

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS FELLOWSHIP MEDITATIVELY WITH YOU TO GROW UP.

“YOUR GROWTH IN THE LORD DETERMINES YOUR STRENGTH FOR EXPLOITS ON THE EARTH.”

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.
