  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...

LIFTER OF HEAD

LIFTER OF HEAD

Psalms 3:1-8
Devotional:- “But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head” (V. 3) NKJV

    Looking at every good organization, you will observe that there is a department that treats staff performance and appraisal, this is the personnel department. In every company or organization, everyone tries to do well in the face of such departmental leaders and managers. This department is as important as the accounting department. You dare not misbehave with its officers when they are around.

When you hear that they are inspecting your department, you sit up. This is because you know how much your future in that company or organization is at their mercy. They can bring about people’s promotion or demotion. So, we are careful with such sections in our organization.

Many of us do not know that God also has this department in His heaven and earth government. They are the hosts who agree to the increase of people's status in life. They decide who is qualified to prosper. They decide who should die or stay alive. God the Father has delegated all of these authorities to their hands. When they don’t qualify you, it means you are not qualified.

But it is great to know that Jesus, your redeemer who loves you and died for you, is the director in charge of this department in God’s government (Psalms 75:6-7, John 5:22). He is the one David prophetically refers to as the lifter of heads. Can you imagine that He who loves you is in charge of the promotion of heaven and earth? You can become the next candidate for promotion. He will surely treat you with preference. Greatly expect it. You shall be lifted.

DECLARATION: IT’S MY TURN TO BE LIFTED IN JESUS NAME.

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.
