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 ...

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.

“WHAT YOU EAT AFFECTS YOUR STRENGTH”

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.
