THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

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.”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
