  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 ...

TEMPLE

1 Corinthians 3:16-21
Devotional:- “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (V. 16) NKJV

    In biblical terms, a temple is known as a place of worship of God. It is a place for the presence of God. A sacred place separated and consecrated for spiritual worship and where God dwells. So, it is often referred to as the house of God. This is the most precious place for both man and God. No one plays or toils around this temple. The angels of God always surround His temple. The armies of heaven are always on guard. The glory of God will always cover His temple. There, people find healing, recovery and joy. This is the nature of the temple of God.

A time came when God was no longer willing to dwell in stones-temple made with the hands of men. He rather chose to make the heart of men His temple. This is one of the heritages Jesus came to give to the New Testament believers. He has come to turn us to the temples of God. He is now dwelling in us (2 Corinthians 6:16). He Is God in us (Matthew 1:23). Do you know that all of the glory of His temple is now given to you? The host of heaven watches over you. The glory of God is on you (Zechariah 2:5). You can't be God’s temple and still be a temple of sickness and pain. These are unclean things. You must check them out. They are to face their destruction now (1 Corinthians 3:17).

That is why you must keep yourself clean in righteousness. As a believer, you are the temple of God. You must keep yourself pure and Holy unto the Lord. See, all your troubles are in trouble. You need to declare who you are to them. Let those sorrows and frustrations know that God’s house is characterized by joy and pleasure (Psalms 16:11). Begin to send them out as Jesus did (John 2:13-16). You are God’s place for the climax of beauty and honour.

PRAYER: NOTHING SHALL BUY AND SELL IN MY LIFE ANYMORE.

“IF YOU ARE HIS TEMPLE, YOU WILL MANIFEST HIS BEAUTY”

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.
