SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

COMING WITH SINGING

Isaiah 51:7-12

Devotional:- “So the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (V. 11) NKJV


Although the world is currently experiencing an increase in sorrow and sorrowful news, God has no such plan for His children. Zion is the place where God has ordained joy. That is why all God’s children must locate their Zion. This is where we gather to worship the name of the Lord, which we refer to as a place of worship today (the church).

In our scripture today, God’s word reminds us of how we are to come to Zion to find the restoration of our joy and sustain it. This is by worshipping the Lord; this is by talking about His deeds in life. Wherever God is praised, He will always manifest His power. Then the redeemed of the Lord shall always return with singing to Zion. In other words, you and your family can start to praise God in that house, office, or fellowship, and then everyone will start to return with joy. Anytime you go out, God will cause you to return with joy.

Friend, you can turn your house, your shop or office into the Zion of the Lord, a place of praise. Then God will make you to always return with joy, and sorrow shall no more have room around you. This is because wherever God is praised, He will be there (Psalm 22:3), and He will always come with the fullness of His joy (Psalm 16:11).


Prayer: Lord, give me a praiseful heart

“A PRAISEFUL PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE A JOYFUL PEOPLE”

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.
