VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

PRINCE OF PEACE

PRINCE OF PEACE

Isaiah 9:5-7
Devotional:- “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (V.6) NKJV

   Today, the scarcest commodity is peace. The world's organizations are paying a lot for peace but are not finding it easy to secure. Instead of attaining peace, the world is rather in pieces. In many homes and families today, the devil has stolen peace. So many relationships suffer loss under this condition. Some tribes and religions specialize in destroying the peace of society. This is simply because the spirit that controls them kills and destroys them.

I need to let you know that there can be no peace in any life, home, relationship, office, business, society, or nation until the price of peace is embraced. If you love to live in peace and to have it around you, it is of great importance that you truly allow Him to rule over your life. Many do not know that going to church does not qualify them to enjoy the peace of God. But truly allowing the prince of peace to rule and control such life.

If you will allow and submit to Him, He will guide you into peace. If your neighbour or spouse does not know peace, all He or she needs is an encounter with Jesus. So, introduce Jesus to them. If they invite Him into their lives, He will dwell in their heart with His peace. Teach your children and spouse to submit to the word of God. In the word, we will find grace to forgive, tolerate, and endure with one another. There we will find true love in our relationship. It is not how many times we go to church but how much we submit to His word (Isaiah 48:18). That is what determines the rate of our peace.

Prayer: Jesus, take over in my life, family, and society with the gospel of your peace.

“NO JESUS, NO PEACE, KNOW JESUS, KNOW PEACE”

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.
