BLESSINGS Ephesians 2:1-8 Devotional:- “How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.” (V. 3) TLB. In the demonstration of the love of Christ to us, believers need to come to awareness that He has made every blessing available to us in heavenly places. You need to know that nothing happens physically on earth unless it has been first approved by heaven. You will observe some people trying to achieve something you consider not too difficult, but it eventually becomes impossible for them. This is because heaven has not approved it for them. You must have heard apostle Paul use the language, “from the foundation of the world," which is the things already concluded in heaven for us.  But as for you, the Bible says, God has already blessed you with all blessings in the heavenly places. It means they are approved for you. And whatever heaven approves for you, He will support you to attain it. You can...

PURSUE PEACE

PURSUE PEACE

Hebrews 12:12-17
Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (v.14) NKJV

Some people don’t know that a peaceful relationship is in their best interest. They do not know that it is ignorance to be wicked and be in conflict with others. Little do most people know that a peaceful relationship is basically good for their health and well-being. That is why a peaceful man will live long in health.

God’s word teaches us today to strive to attain peace in all our relationships with others. The Bible doesn’t say we should try to do that, but it says we should strive. This is because it may not be easy. Man, as a social and emotional being, cannot help but relate with others. We often finds constraints in doing so because of our differences, which can lead us to offend one another; we often find it tough with some people.

Notwithstanding that, the Bible commands us to pursue peace with everyone so that we don’t block our access to God. This is being humble to let go, tolerate and forgive. This gives peace and joy. Such people will live their life in joy, health and peace all their days.
No matter how difficult it is, forgive others and keep your joy, for the sorrow belongs to the enemy.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to live in peace with others.
“HE THAT DO NOT STRIVE TO LIVE IN PEACE WILL END UP LIVING IN PIECES”

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).

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
