THE HEART OF WORSHIP

  THE HEART OF WORSHIP Romans 6:1-14 Devotional:- “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (V. 13) Since worship is our first purpose on earth we need to know that worship will not be worship if we don’t surrender to God. So, surrendering is the heart of worship. In our world today, surrender sound negative. It could mean to give up or losing or admit your defeat. But it is giving ourselves to God not out of fear or necessity but in love (1 John 4:9-19). Three things often attempt to block our mind from total surrendering to God, fear, pride and confusion. As kingdom citizen, please know it that you must learn to trust God. A woman will not be able to surrender to her husband if she does not trust him and so also you to God. To truly surrender to God, you must admit your weaknesses and limitations. That is when you truly want to ask ...

BEING FORGIVEN

BEING FORGIVEN

1 John 1:5-10
Devotional:- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (v. 9) NKJV.

    One of the strongest weapons of the enemy against human confidence is condemnation and fear. And these are products of the feelings of not being forgiven. Nothing weakens the human conscience like guilt (Proverbs 28:1). No matter how strong a man is, a guilty conscience will make him a vegetable in the face of his enemies. He will always submit to the enemy. He/she will always look down on himself/herself.

I would like to let you know that a new man and woman in Christ have a heritage of forgiveness in Christ Jesus. Don’t let anyone break your confidence or destroy your emotions. I once counselled a sister who kept growing skinny daily because she was told that God could never forgive her again. See, God is not a man. This is the reason Jesus died on the cross. He shed His precious blood for the remission of our sins (Hebrews 9:22).

Anytime we sin, we should repent and confess our sins to God. We should ask for our cleansing by the blood (Hebrews 9:21; 1 John 1:9). God’s word says we shall be immediately forgiven, and clean by the precious blood of Jesus. This is not a liberty for sin but the license to our liberty in Christ Jesus. See, your God is not like men. Have you confessed those sins to God? Please genuinely repent of them. And now you are forgiven. Jump up in joy as a person forgiven. Jesus gave the parable of the prodigal son to teach us the attitude of God toward us as a forgiving father (Luke 15:11-24). Jesus demonstrated this on the cross (Luke 23:34). Don’t be tied down in the unforgiven. Since you repent and ask for forgiveness, you are free. See, to God, there is no bigger sin, sin is sin. It is men who rate sins. If the thief on the cross could find forgiveness, please find yours.

PRAYER: LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU FORGIVE ME; HELP ME TO LIVE FOR YOU FOREVER.

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.
