Devotions

“For the grace of God that brings salvation, has appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying every ungodliness worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteous and godly in the present age; Looking for the Blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:11-13 In our text today, we reflect how the grace of God has changed us who have believed in Jesus Christ. The message of Christianity is all about Jesus Christ who is grace personified. We have been saved, only by grace and that is our Lord Jesus Christ. We examine […]

PSALMS 37:1-4 “Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil.For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” In the world we live today, we are constantly presented with two choices, to do evil or to do the right and good thing. Some people perpetrate evil for gain and find their pleasure out […]

Philippians 2:1-11 This passage gives us such a wonderful teaching about the person and work of Jesus Christ which was written primarily to deal with the division and disunity at Philippi and the three problems which caused it, namely, self ambition, pride and selfishness. He dealt with these problems by setting forth Jesus Christ as an example to follow and imitate. If we are like Him there will never be division or disunity. There are three truths about the Lord Jesus Christ which Paul emphasizes. Each truth deals with one of the problems mentioned earlier. “Who, being in the very […]

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17). Our reflection today is on the constancy and unchangeable nature of God. In light of varying and changing life situations and times, sometimes we are tempted to think of a change on God’s part. Challenged with a situation, one may be made to think that probably God has changed for them to face such a challenge. However, the text above, gives us a promise that firstly God is the giver […]

Philippians 3:13-14: “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward for what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Purposeless living is frustrating, wasted living. The reason so many people today wander aimlessly and get into serious trouble is that they have no define purpose in life. What is your life purpose? Our devotion today gives some good suggestions as to what it should be. Paul states that his purpose was “that I may gain Christ and be found in him” (vv.8-9). Paul now has a new view […]

Text: Ephesians 4:22-31 In our text today, Paul is urging his readers to live a new life as Childrens of the light rather than darkness. The apostle was concerned that people should be changed in their lives as well as in their hearts. “Living by New Standards” That is what every Christian must do. The moral standards in the world today just like in Ephesus are at an alarming low level, Alcohol, drugs, unfaithfulness, and injustice are the order of the day. Today’s devotion reminds us that we are “called to a New Life”. Paul is careful to define what […]

Matthew 4:12-22; 9:35-38 In all Scripture there is only one area in which God is confronted with a shortage that cannot be filled by a creative act, and that is the lack of workers to “ make up the hedge, and stand in the gap” (Ezekiel 22:30) God’s basic problem in the world now is finding workers. Jesus Christ has provided our vicarious atonement. The plan of God is in effect but cannot be made effective because of lack appropriate human representatives. So He is Still calling. Much has been said about God’s call for workers. It comes, in a […]

Ruth 1:1-8,16-18 ‘Where is your commitment?’ is one of the most challenging and significant questions that each one of us will ever face. If our commitment is self; having our way, doing our own thing, seeking only private gain, life will be one long disappointment and disillusioned. But if we are willing to commit ourselves unreservedly to God, doing His will and serving others, we will experience the best in life. As we celebrate the women today on women’s day, our devotion will focus on Ruth and her commitment. The book of Ruth is one of the most fascinating book […]

If we could wave a magic rod and have whatever we desired at the beginning of this year, what would we wish for? Would we wish for financial success, a return to our first love or restored relationships that have been broken? Would we ask for loved ones long gone to be reunited with us? Maybe we can learn from the prophet Isaiah as we consider our desires in light of the theme for the year Establishment, Growth and Fruitfulness. 1 “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, […]

(Luke 2:10-11). “Then the Angel said to them, ‘do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” We are in the Season were we remember the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ which was Heralded with great Blessings and Promises of God. For so long it was the hope of all humanity that God would send the Messiah, the Savior of the world to redeem man as the Holy […]
