Being A Christian
“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace” Col.1:6
The Word of God is so powerful, rich, beautiful, and so amazing. We are going to be spending a lot of time with God’s Word over the next few weeks as we study the Book of Colossians. Please study Colossians chapter one as we kick off our study from there. Being a Christian is all about life change. The Word of God has come to us to change our lives. If who you were Read the rest of this entry
Am I?
“But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Luke 9:62
In scripture, Jesus said some really hard things unapologetically. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Luke 9:62. That is really hard to say to someone who has pledged to follow you. The man was just asking for permission to say farewell to his Read the rest of this entry
Project and Prophesy
“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalm 33:11
Yesterday we said, in goal setting the number one thing is acknowledging God [Ps.127:1]. We set goals knowing that God Himself sets goals. How do I know? It is in the Bible and I will show you. “He planned to bring all of history to its goal in Christ. Then Christ would be the head of everything in heaven and on earth” Eph.1:10 [GW]. God’s goal is to make Jesus Lord of everything. Sooner or later Read the rest of this entry
A Life That Counts
“The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did not produce. You will draw water from cisterns you did not dig, and you will eat from vineyards and olive trees you did not plant…” Deut.6:11
We are going to start today’s devotion by reiterating one of the truths from yesterday. The truth is that if the minds of men can conceive it then it is small compared to what God is going to do in your life. You need to remember this truth because this year you will take giants steps towards the fulfillment of your destiny in Jesus Name. You will be experience such acceleration that people who Read the rest of this entry
His Business
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” Isa.55:9-10
God will do what He says He will do but He will not do it ‘how’ you want Him to do it. God rarely, if ever, commits to ‘how’. He can show you ‘how’ as your relationship grows but He doesn’t commit to ‘how’. God only commits to ‘what’, He doesn’t commit to ‘how’. ‘How’ He is going to do what He says He will do is His business. Many times, while trusting God for something, I have attempted to reason Read the rest of this entry
Divine Companion
“But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me” John 16:32
Divine companionship means I cannot be confused when I have to make tough decisions because God is beside me. If I need to do something I don’t know anything about, all I have to do is watch how Jesus did it and do the same. When people try to harass me, I do not get intimidated because God is behind me. Do you know the Tom and Jerry cartoon? Tom is forever chasing Jerry around the house, up on Read the rest of this entry
Causes Of Disagreement I
“Do two people start travelling together without arranging to meet?” Amos 3:3 [GNT].
Today, we pick up from where we left off yesterday. The first cause of disagreement is failure to meet. In some marriages, there are two people living in the same house but they are just flat mates; they do not meet. They have agreed or decided to marry but they must also agree to meet. It is one thing to decide to get Read the rest of this entry
Get In-Line
“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him, “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.” Gen.32:28
A wise man said, “You cannot change your destination overnight but you can change your direction overnight”. Some of us reading this today have been going in the wrong direction. For some it is bad habits that have sent them down a wrong path. So you go to God at His meeting place, the altar, and pray; and guess what? You are actually realigned but you wake up the next day and it seems you are Read the rest of this entry
Plans Of Good And Not Evil
“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” John 10:10
I do not know what you have done but I have been sent to tell you that Jesus is merciful. Jesus is merciful. He is full of mercy and His mercy knows no bounds. Please read Matthew 20:1-15. Over the next few days, we will be learning about God’s boundless mercy from these scriptures. It is my prayer that as you faithfully read it, Read the rest of this entry
The End
“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” Rev.22:12-13
He is Jesus; He is going to be there at the end of time, believe it or not. Of course you know that every human life has an ending. If Jesus tarries, we’re going to die, no matter how anointed we are. In fact, you may be so anointed that your bones may be raising the dead but you will still die. That should be very humbling for any human being. Everybody is going to Read the rest of this entry
