WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN

  WORLD CLASS CHRISTIAN Mark 16:14-20 Devotional:- “And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (V. 15) There are two types of Christians in the world: The world class Christians and the worldly Christian. You are either in one of these groups. The worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal needs. They are saved but self-centered. Their prayer focuses on me first and focuses on their needs, blessings and happiness or comfort. They want to use God for their purpose instead of been used for Gods purposes. “Jesus sent us to reach the world, be part”.  In contrast, world class Christians are people who are saved and know that they are here to serve the purpose of God. Find them anywhere in the world they will be serving God’s purpose. They are eager to receive personal assignment and excited about the privilege of been used by God. Everything they do in life is towards fulfilling the purpose of God and not just for worldly pleasu...

REACTIONS

2 Samuel 16:5-14
Devotional:- “Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: "Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue!” (V.7) NKJV

    One of the attitudes that proves a man’s maturity is the ability to handle reactions. When the Bible tells us to be careful of sin that may add weight on our lives, reaction is one of such (Hebrews 12:1). It can stop your race to glory.

Reactions are human behaviour in response to our actions. If they are allowed, they could make one suddenly pack out of his/her home, divorce their spouse, or resign from office. It wearies one from taking bold steps and stops being good or even resigning from life.

David was a mature man of God, and so handling reactions was not a problem for him. Going through a time of challenges this time, a man took advantage of that to curse and insult him. Yet he knew how to handle reactions. And this kept him from sinning, and he eventually had his victory.

I don’t know what people have done to you that tempted you to react terribly. Probably you’ve even done good for someone who is now repaying you with evil, or your effort has been disregarded, and you are discouraged. Yet God expects you to be mature in handling this. The ability to handle reactions is a pointer to your understanding and readiness for glory (Luke 23:34).

Please understand that it is normal for people to sometimes misbehave (Romans 3:10, 13-18). When men encourage you, take it as God speaking through them. But when they mean to pre-judge you, don’t forget that no one has the right to give final statement about you but God (Romans 8:33-34). When they pre-judge you, they are doing what only God should have done, but God is your creator. He has no bad intention against you (Jeremiah 29:11). Please disregard human pre-judgment and continue to live your life. That shows who you are before God. And you will see your glory notwithstanding.

PRAYER: LORD, I THANK YOU, FOR YOU NEED NO HUMAN COUNSEL TO DETERMINE MY LIFE.

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.
