WORSHIP

  WORSHIP John 4:10-26 Devotional:- “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (v.23) NKJV Many of us have not come to the level of understanding that God is more interested in building relationship with us than in meeting our needs. Actually, He desires to meet our needs, but fundamentally, He wants a relationship first. That is why most people don’t have a constant response from God, because He has discovered that they are much more after His gifts and not after Him as God. So also when Jesus discovered that people were following Him for the sake of fish and bread, He quickly discouraged the act (John 6:25-27). One of the things that God strongly desire from human race is our worship. Not because He wants to show that He is God, but because He knows that it will help Him build a relationship with us. Observe that God called David a man after His heart. One of the reasons...

NEW LIFE

John 6:53-58
Devotional:- “Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you” (V. 53) NKJV

    Many believers today, though saved into the supernatural realm of God, are yet ordinary people. This is because they are ignorant of their new nature in Christ. This is also because we are not partaking of the flesh and the body of Christ with revelation.

The scripture we read today is an event during which Jesus gave the teaching of the mysteries of communion to the people, but they could not understand it. They would rather take offense and ridicule the teaching of Jesus. But these are mysteries in Christ for the new life in a believer.

In the scripture, Jesus said that unless a person eats His body and drinks His blood, he will not have eternal life. But the Bible says we already have eternal life at salvation (John 3:16). Even though eternal life is given at our salvation, the new life in Christ makes us enjoy the heavenly life right here on earth. The bread and wines we often take during communion service symbolize the body and blood of Jesus. Until you make yourself a partaker of the communion table, you may not experience the new life here on earth.

As a regular partaker of the communion table, it enrolls you among the kings and priests (Revelations 5:10). It enlists you among the heirs of God (Galatians 4:7). It makes you part of the touch-not group (Psalm 105:15; Zechariah 2:8). For it shall be a mark of Passover on your life (Exodus 12:13). It makes you peculiar among others (1 Peter 2:9). It renews the new life to your spirit, mind, and body. It gives you sustaining strength and maintains your new life in Christ. So, it will be impossible for you to be defeated or fail. And your success and victory shall be guaranteed.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME AN EXPERIENCE OF A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.

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.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
