I Corinthians 1:18-31

Sometimes we look at God’s law as though they are there for us to satisfy God. But if any man has wisdom, he will discover that all the laws of God are for our good. When we realise this, it helps us to find wisdom in obeying God and be willing to do His will. One of the things we learn from God is not to be boastful. Humility is the practice of the mature. Many today have entered into many traps in life because they are boastful. They want to always tell people in a proud way so that they will know their achievement. This opens up to the enemy. 

We could ask a question in our mind: Can God not protect us from the enemy? The answer is “Yes”. God can protect us. But when God observes that you are not willing to either grow and be mature or work in wisdom, then He allows the enemy to teach you a lesson. So, men are led into temptation for their training because God sometimes train His own children with challenges (Hebrews 12:5-6). 

Friend, you know how low you were before God began to lift you. Stop boasting if you don’t want to be trapped. What do you have that God has not given to you? (James 1:7). Some will boast about a baby yet to be born, a house yet to be completed, a car yet to be bought; all of these are not wisdom. Stop putting yourself into the hands of the enemy. If you can think wisely, then leave no room for boasting. God is taking you farther, don’t block your way with boasting. Let Him perfect what He has started in your life. Watch out! Be sober, be vigilant, and you will get there. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to caution my mouth

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.
