  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...

THE LORD

THE LORD 

Acts 2:34-41
Devotional:- "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (V.36) NKJV

    A lot of time when we use the word ‘lord’ we do not seem to have the right understanding of it. Lordship is not a title for anyone. Today the Dominion of Christ is not rooted in the life of some believers because they do not know Jesus as their Lord.

When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter rose up among them and preached the gospel of the New Testament to the people. One of the things the Holy Spirit declared through his mouth was the ordination of Jesus as the Lord and Christ.

The word ‘lord' does not only signify headship but authority, dominion, and power. This means he has fought and won his way to such a level of power. And by the reason of such possession, he exercises exclusive authority over his subjects. By this, he operates in dominion.

Do you know that Jesus has won His way to the top and the Father has made Him both Lord and Saviour? Now the heaven and the earth are under His dominion (Matthew 28:18). So, it is a deception for you to be under any other dominion. The only accredited one is Jesus. But you know among the subjects some people still try to rule over others. And that is the case of the devil. Don’t let him rule over your life. The great one in you is the ruler over heaven and earth (1 John 4:4). All things are to submit to you in His name (Philippians 2:9-10). If He is your Lord, no one else should be. Nowhere can you find two kings ruling over a city. Declare Him as your own Lord and submit to His commandment (James 4:7). Then all other authorities will be out of your life.

DECLARATION: JESUS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND ALL OTHER AUTHORITY MUST PACK OUT OF MY LIFE.

“WHEN YOUR LORD IS SUPREME YOU ARE SUPREME”

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.
