HE NEVER CONDEMNS

  HE NEVER CONDEMNS John 8:1-11  Devotional:- “She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more”” (V. 11) NKJV One of the tricks the devil often used against man is to make us feel condemned. To be condemned is a feeling of self-judgment. It is the act of judging oneself to death when God has not. A man with condemnation cannot be bold or courageous. He cannot exercise faith. He cannot take a risk and so cannot find it easy to succeed. The truth is that God does not condemn man. So it is like man to feel condemned, and it is the handiwork of the devil. It was said about Jesus, “for God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him might be saved” (John 3:17).  God has appointed Jesus to judge the earth. But that is not now. Condemnation is a feeling that one has been written off and is not worthy of living anymore. The only people who will face God’s final condemnation are those who refused to...

PLEASURE

Proverbs 21:13-20 
Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich” (v.17) NKJV

    It is of great importance that we consider something that may make it difficult for us to manage our nest level, one of such is pleasure. Pleasure mentality has become a big weight on the neck of some people’s destiny. Pleasure mentality is doing things only for the fun of it. Doing things only to get the enjoyment out of it, and not having the purpose in mind.

Doing things with an unserious mind. Misinterpreting looseness to be freedom. Taking indiscipline and idleness to be fun. Desiring to get something to show others that you are there. Many of these things are not outrightly wrong, but when that is your main purpose of pursuit. It may produce frustration, for it will lack divine support.

I found out that people have this nature in their lives as it emanates from their poverty mentality. They are envious of people's cars, houses or offices as though they are already in heaven. So they pray and desire in their hearts to have such so that they can also have the same pleasures. They always think of having money to begin to go about all the kitchens in town. They cherish sleeping, eating, and playing more than working. They love to drive about or sit in someone’s car to be driven about in the town for no particular goal. They always look for free food. They complain about every assignment but rejoice in holidays.

God’s word says, he that loves pleasure shall be poor. In other words, even if they are rich now, they are coming down. Such people have no future. There is only a future for your wealth when you love to labour. Commit yourself to the pursuit of your destiny. Sit down and work. The real pleasure is to achieve your goal. Soon, it will be normal for you to drive big cars, live in a beautiful house, and even travel abroad. You are growing up.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO REFOCUS MY LIFE FOR YOUR GLORY

“WHEN YOUR LONGINGS ARE NOT FOR GENUINE GOALS, THEY MAY PROLONG YOUR JOURNEY”

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.
