  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...

SHILOH

SHILOH

Genesis 49:8-12
Devotional:- “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people” (V.10) NKJV

    Man by nature always desires to have a place they can turn to in times of need. Sometimes men experience some situations that look stronger than them. At such time we desire to have a place of refuge. Not just a shady place to hide from the beating of the sun but for security and salvation.

God in His understanding of the human challenges has often planned to give such place for men. When the Israelites were in the wilderness, God told them to separate some cities as cities of refuge when they arrived in Canaan. And He promised that His tabernacle would be in their midst. He told them they should come near this tabernacle for sacrifices and the appointed ceremonies. And anytime they have any trouble, if they will face the city of His presence there shall be solution and victory. This place was referred to as Shiloh.

This was prophesied through the mouth of Jacob when He was blessing his children. He pronounces on Judah that the rod of authority and rulership shall not depart from His tribe till Shiloh will come. At Canaan a place was appointed as Shiloh and there, people waited to receive their miracle. An example is the case of Hannah the mother of Samuel (1 Samuel 1). But this prophecy was referring to Jesus the Messiah. He is our Shiloh. In Him, we have refuge and strength. When we are faced with greater challenges, we can run to Him.

Today in Him you can have a solution to your situation and receive your miracle. Turn to Him today and be saved. Go for your miracle your Shiloh has come.

PRAYER: LORD, I TURN TO YOU TODAY LET YOUR HAND DELIVER MY MIRACLE.

“A MAN WHO DOESN’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO IN THE DAY OF TROUBLES WILL ALWAYS HAVE FRUSTRATED”
