  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...

TEMPLE

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”

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.

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.
