MAKING GOD HAPPY

  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...

HEAVENLY PLACES

Ephesians 1:16-23
Devotional:- “which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places” (V. 20) NKJV

   The Bible says that we are seated in heavenly places, which means we are far above the reach of the forces of the earth. This simply talks about your status in Christ. This emphasizes the gap that exists between you and the forces that rule the earth. We all can understand that heaven is extremely far above the earth, and so is your level to the forces of the earth.

You must be careful to know that no matter the power or forces the enemy is displaying, Jesus, whom you are seated with, is the chief of it. The Bible called Jesus the head of principalities and powers (Colossians 2:10), not in terms of participation but of dominion. His rulership is spread wide over others. No matter the evil power that operates around you, Jesus made you to be authority over them, because He is in you. That is why at the mention of the name of Jesus, all kneels must bow.

You need to know as a believer that you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). Christ is there for your sake. It will be totally out of place if for any reason you mingle with the people of the power lower than yours. Never be afraid of them; they cannot stand He that is in you (I John 4:4). Settle down to know where you belong. Refuse to allow earthly circumstances to trouble you. And your life shall carry the heavenly power and glory.

DECLARATION: I AM SITED IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES ABOVE THE REACH OF ALL EARTHLY TROUBLES IN JESUS NAME.

“HE THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL”

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.
