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...

JOY IN THE CITY

 JOY IN THE CITY


Acts 8:1-8

Devotional:- “And there was great joy in that city” (v.8) NKJV


Another powerful producer of joy is Christ in your life (Colossians 1:27). Christ can change our sorrow into joy. He came to set us free from the power that caged us in sorrow. He came to give us the key to joy. Many have not come to know that having Christ in their life is not just about going to church. The truth you need to hear is that when you give room to Christ in your life, you have given room to joy (Luke 2:10).

The scripture we read today is the report of what happened to the city of Samaria. They accommodated Jesus Christ in their life, and God’s word reported that there was great joy in that city. The confusion is that there are many in church today without Christ; they have confessed Jesus Christ as their Saviour, but they don’t have room for him in their heart. They are workers and leaders, but have no room for Christ.

When Christ has room in your life, He will change you from the inside out. He will give you a new mind (1 Corinthians 2:16), a new faith (Mark 11:22-24). He will give you a new thought system (2 Timothy 1:7), He will give you a new language, a new life entirely. It is a life of joy, a life that cannot accommodate sorrow and can no longer be broken down. If you have this spirit in you, then out of you shall continually flow rivers of joy (John 7:38); you will become a joy producer.


Prayer: Lord, take over my life totally.

“YOUR CHANGED LIFE IS THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF YOUR SALVATION”

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.
