  MAKING GOD HAPPY Numbers 6:22-27 Devotional:- “May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you” (V. 25 NLT) One of the goals of our life is to make God happy. This is because the goal of worship is to make God happy. A man can make God happy when he pleases the Lord in all His ways. Job was a man who pleases the Lord in his life time (Job 1:8). Noah was another man who also pleased God in his generation (Genesis 6:8). We are living for the glory of God when we live to make God happy by pleasing the Him. To make God happy, we must love Him supremely (Luke 14:26). No one loved us as God does. He knows what no one knows about us that is why we must love Him more than ALL. It is possible to love God supremely when we relate closely with Him (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Genesis 6:9). To make God happy, we must learn to trust Him completely. Noah trusted Him and built an arc even on a dry land (Hebrew 11:7). Though, he had never seen rain before yet believed God and trusted Him compl...

AUTHOR AND FINISHER

Hebrew 12:1-4
Devotional:- “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (V. 2) NKJV

    It is important as a man with a brand-new life to know that your redeemer is the author and the finisher of your faith. In so many situations of life, people could stand with you at the beginning of a thing but may not continue to bother about how you run the race. But the Bible refers to Jesus as the beginning and the end of all things (Revelation 1:8).

You need to recognise Him as the author of your faith. Any time you see faith growing in you, it is because He started it. He is the word of God (John 1:1). And the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). This means the word of God is the source of every genuine and increasing faith. If there is any faith that will not fail, it must have its roots in the word of God.

Most people can believe by picking up faith from the words of men and are easily discouraged. But do you know that as for you, when Jesus authors your faith, He helps you by the Holy Spirit to bring it to perfection and performance? That is why, despite our doubt, sometimes God still fulfils His words in our life (Genesis 18:9-14). And we sometimes say, “I did not even know that God could do it.”. See, He is committed to bring His word to pass. That is why He is only looking for mustard seed size of faith in you to perform His word (Matthew 17:20). He is the originator of your faith and the finisher of His word in your life. See, the word of God cannot fail in your life. You cannot but fulfil your destiny.

PRAYER: LORD, BE THE SUSTAINER OF MY FAITH FROM NOW.

“IF YOUR FAITH WILL NOT BE SUSTAINED BY GOD IT WILL NOT BE CERTAIN”

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.
