YOU ARE FROM GOD

  YOU ARE FROM GOD Colossians 1:9-18 Devotional:- “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him” (V. 16) One of the greatest troubles of human life is people living out of their purpose. Until you find your purpose and fit into it, life will continue to be a struggle. Locating the meaning of human life is one of the greatest adventures someone can embark on. This is because when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable. That is why the human life is so abused today.  As God’s kingdom citizens, finding the purpose of life and the meaning of life becomes easier when we source for it from the word of God. The best purpose of a product is known by the maker. To locate our purpose on earth, we must begin with our maker. The word of God says God made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

LOOK FORWARD

LOOK FORWARD

Philippians 3:12-16
Devotional:- “...but one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (v.13) 

    It is a clear thing to us all that there is no one walking and looking backwards who will not find an accidental occurrence. It is therefore very delicate to be driving and keep looking backwards. Such a vehicle will not find it easy to arrive where it is going. Yet, this is how many people live their lives.

They often get too affected by the things that have happened to them in the past. Little do they know that this is the trick of the enemy to distract them from being able to move forward in life.

Let us learn a great lesson from the life of Paul the apostle, as we read in the scripture today. He realised the fact that he had not attained God’s goal for his life despite all the miracles God did through him. He still learnt to forget the past and look forward to a greater glory ahead.

Our experiences are made up of three types of events. Bad ones, regretted ones and good ones. We will help ourselves to forget the bad experiences of the past, learn from the regretted ones and thank God for the good ones. Get to know that whatever is past is irreparable. Bothering yourself about them is simply wasting your time since you can’t amend them. Please let them go. There are better experiences of life waiting for you. Please let the past be passed so that you may not pass with it. Look forward, and you will be able to achieve God's plan for your life. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to forget the bitter experience of the past. 

“IF YOU DON’T STOP LOOKING BACKWARDS, THINGS WILL BE GOING BACKWARDS”

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.
