  OUR ROCK Psalms 18:1-3 Devotional:- Lord is my rock and my fortress and deliverer…” (V.2) One of the love emblems to us is that He is our rock. He is known as the rock of ages. Because He loves us, He is always there for us. Rock is a symbol of strength and confidence. The cleft of the rock is always a beautiful place of refuge. Water from the rock is always pure and cool. As part of His love for us, He has become our rock (I Corinthians 10:4). He is the rock of our salvation, of our peace and protection. The bird eagle lives on the rock above the reach of the enemy. The water on it is refreshing and clean, far above the reach of the dust. The cave of the rock is always very cool and secure, far above the reach of either the arrow of the enemy or the scourging of the sun. This is who Jesus is for us. We may pass through challenges in this world, but we are sure of our victory because the rock is always there for us. He is our trust. He is our stronghold. He will never reject nor ...

SPIRITUAL LABOUR

SPIRITUAL LABOUR 

Devotional:- “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (V. 1) NKJV

    Now that we have begun to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus, we must ensure our participation in spiritual labour to enjoy the restful favour of God. It is important that we know that all things that exist in the physical have first existed in the spiritual (Hebrew l1:3). All good gifts come from above (James 1:19). God’s word says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly place (Ephesians 1:3). All these scripture establishes the fact that there are blessings spiritually provided for us. And it will take our spiritual labour to harvest them.

It Is a pity that many people have not come to the light that spiritual labour is one of the most important before you consider other types of labour. There are three types of labour the bible teaches: Spiritual labour, mental labour (Ecclesiastes 1:13) and physical labour (1 Thessalonians 4: 11). Spiritual labour is the act of growing in God to be able to claim our entire heritage in Christ (Galatians 4:7). This we will be able to do by increasing our faith in the word of God, praying and fasting or fellowshipping in God’s presence.

Today, the moment some people begin to have some possessions, they will start to neglect spiritual exercises that have great rewards (1 Timothy 4:8). They will start looking for excuses to be absent from the church. They will no longer meditate on God’s word. When the church calls for fasting and prayer, some will neglect it, only to soon run to the pastor when the devil has a grip upon what they think is their security.

As for you, understand that without God you can do nothing (John 15:5). No matter your status, never be bigger than God. Labour to enter your rest in Christ so that your peace, protection and prosperity can be guaranteed. Never neglect God in your days of comfort so that He will not neglect you when you need Him (Proverbs l:24-29). No matter what you have now much is still waiting for you in the spirit. And much more for you and your family are peace, health protection and nonstop prosperity. Learn to labour in the Lord to enter your rest.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME NEVER TO BE LAZY SPIRITUALLY.

“HE THAT NEGLECT GOD IN COMFORT SHALL BE NEGLECTED IN TROUBLE.”

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.
