A BRAND-NEW MAN

25th January 2023

“So, when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”– Acts 28:4 REFERENCE: Acts 28:1-6 Often, people will name you by your past experiences and expect you to suffer for an offense of the past. However, God is not like that; He can take the worst of men and turn them into the best of men. He can turn a terrorist into an evangelist; He can so remove a man from...

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH: THE LANGUAGE OF FAITH

23rd January 2023

“And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” ~ Luke 8:24&25 REFERENCE: Luke 8:22-25 In the last devotional, we understood that life would often throw us into circumstances where the only appropriate response would be faith, nothing else. When we get daunted and crushed by these challenges, Jesus asks us, as He did His disciples, “Where is your faith?” When Jesus asked His disciples...

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

21st January 2023

“…Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” ~ Luke 8:24-25 REFERENCE: Luke 8:22-25 Scripture tells us twice, “The just shall live by his faith.” It is because life will often put us in circumstances that require our faith response. There will be a likelihood of distressing news, sicknesses, financial obligation deadlines, battles against negative thoughts, etc. As He asked His disciples, Jesus will ask you at such times, “Where is your faith?” Life put the disciples of Jesus Christ...

FORGIVE HIM

20th January 2023

“…If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.” – Luke 17:3 REFERENCE: Luke 17:1-4 Jesus said, “It is impossible that no offenses should come.” That is true. As long as we relate with other humans, we are bound to rub one another wrong or say things out of turn. We have been told what to do when a brother offends or sins against us – forgive him. Forgiveness is a rich concept that runs through the whole bible. It is at the root of Christianity. Romans 5:8 says, “…While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Without forgiveness,...

EYES FIXED ON JESUS

18th January 2023

“Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.” ~ Luke 4:20 REFERENCE: Luke 4:16-21 Amidst the culture of hero-worship that permeates today’s society, believers can get distracted and soon turn their attention to false gods. There are great orators, singers, actors, social media influencers, talk show hosts, entertainers, and musicians, many of whom have very many followers. However, a child of God must be careful to have his eyes fixed on Jesus all the time. What you keep looking at...

WHAT MANNER OF LOVE

16th January 2023

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” ~ I John 3:1 REFERENCE: I John 3:1-3 Everybody needs love. A loveless world will soon witness chaos and the vilest atrocities of man towards one another. Selfishness is on the rise; many are so self-absorbed that they do not notice those around them, and no one takes note of them. God offers His love as a remedy to this need. Love becomes weighty when we receive it from someone better and of a higher status than us, who does not...

IT’S YOUR SABBATH

14th January 2023

“Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.” ~ John 5:8-9 REFERENCE: John 5:1-9 By an ordinance from the beginning of creation, God set aside the Sabbath to be a day of rest for man. With the death and resurrection of Jesus, Sabbath is no longer a day, but any time man’s faith reaches out to receive the mercy of God. Jesus said, “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” It was made for...

GOD WILL TURN IT

13th January 2023

“…On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.” ~ Esther 9:1 REFERENCE: Esther 9:1-5 Movies often mimic life. The movie usually starts with the hero suffering and being hurt by the villain and his minions. He is on the receiving end until a point leading to the final showdown: a gang of villains gang up on the actor, with the odds stacked against him, but suddenly, things turn around, and the movie ends well. Rough patches often mark the...

GOD IS WITH YOU

12th January 2023

“For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” ~ Deuteronomy 2:7 REFERENCE: Deuteronomy 2:2-7 A mind battle most believers fight is wondering if God is with them on their journeys. When we pass through difficult times or desires delay, we wonder if God still cares or remembers us. As we begin a new year, let the journey of Israel in the wilderness be an encouragement to you. As you...

MORNING DUTY: LOOK UP

11th January 2023

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.” ~ Psalm 5:3 REFERENCE: Psalm 5:1-3 We continue to learn from David’s morning duty today. He resolved that God would hear his voice every morning as a matter of duty and importance. He further said he would direct that voice to God and would look up. To what would David be referring? What does he mean? From our text, it is plain that when David said God would hear his voice in the morning, he...
