GIFT AND GRACE

  GIFT AND GRACE Romans 12:3-8 Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV   One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10). If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not care...

PLAYING WITH SIN

PLAYING WITH SIN

Judges 16:11-21
Devotional;- “And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!" But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him” (v.20) NKJV

    God’s word says we cannot continue in sin and expect the grace of God to continue to abound (Rom. 6:1). Since divine strength feeds on grace, it is therefore impossible for a man to retain godly strength with sin. The word of God says whoever is sinning is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning.

So, as a child of God, you don’t play with sin. It will make God withdraw, and the rest of the story can be pathetic.

When it comes to physical strength, Samson was the strongest man in history. The strength of Samson was not in physical exercise. The Bible never recorded any time when he was carrying weight for bodybuilding. That strength did not come because he had strong biological parents. It was purely a divine strength. I hope you also know that the strength you have today is divine. Samson played with sin, and God left him. He thought he could still perform, but no way.

Friend, if you think the grace and strength you have today are your making, and you are playing with sin, you may soon be gone. Please stop playing with sin of any kind. It drains away the strength of God and makes the power cease flowing. You have more land to cover in glory, don’t let sin destroy your strength. Flee.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the deception of sin.

“SIN MAY LOOK PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT THE STING IS DEADLY”

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.
