God Will Use A Yielded Life - July 11, 2018

2:13 AM Devotional , 0 Comments


Luke 5:3  And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.


Today's Thought: Unless we allow God to take possession of everything we are and we have,  He can never real King of our lives. 


Whatever we give to the Lord He will use for His honor and glory.  When the Lord entered the boat of Simon He took control of the same and Simon obeyed the Lord.  When the Lord comes into our life He also took control of our lives.


However,  God wants us to be willing to yield our lives,  our talent,  our wealth,  our all.  The Lord Jesus wants to be the Lord of our lives but we must obey Him. 


Let us pray for grace that we may be able to yield unto the Lord everything we have and all we are everyday of our lives.  Let us allow God to work in our lives.

We Are Called To Take Part in the Work of the Lord - July 10, 2018

5:24 PM Devotional , 0 Comments
Luke 8:1-3
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

Today's Thought: God wants us to be part of His work through the gifts we received from Him. 

Most people only know of William Tyndale as the man who worked on the translation of the Bible into the English language. During the translation work, Tyndale was forced to go into hiding as he completed the massive work the Lord has laid on his heart. But not many people know of Humphrey Monmouth.

Monmouth was a wealthy cloth merchant who covered all of Tyndale's expenses as he worked on the translation. He worked on his connections to smuggle Bibles from Germany to England. Without the generosity and courage of Monmouth, it would be impossible for Tyndale to continue his work.

Not all of us could stand on pulpits to preach the gospel. Not all of us are called to be evangelists. But all of us are called to be part of the great work of the Lord. We need to take part in the ministry of the Lord through our giving unto church for the glory of God.

Use Liberty to Serve God - July 7, 2018

11:26 PM Devotional , 0 Comments
Galatians 5:13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 

Today's Thought: Use the liberty you receive from Christ to lovingly serve Him. 

On 1876, the people of France sent the sculpture "Liberty Enlightening the World" or the Statue of Liberty to the United States as a gift for their 100th American independence anniversary. Several architects and engineers worked on the sculpture. The United States government funded the pedestal on which the status stands.

The Statue of Liberty stood on Liberty Island since 1886 by President Grover Cleveland. President Cleveland said: e will not forget that Liberty has made her home here, nor shall her chosen altar be neglected. A stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man’s oppression until Liberty enlightens the world.

Liberty is not a permission for us to anything we want to do. Several people now thing that liberty is doing things they want without any criticisms, without consequencies and without any rebuke. The freedom we got from Christ should push us to serve Him and to have our pleasure.

Our God is With Us - July 6, 2018

11:14 PM Devotional , 0 Comments
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that they may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 

Today's Thought: You are never alone in facing struggles in life for God is with you. 

When Elijah followed the Lord and confronted the evil tandem of Ahab and Jezebel, his life was in peril. He fled and hid to avoid the anger of Ahab. For the next three years of drought, the wandering Elijah was fed by the Lord through the ravens. When that provision ended, the Lord sent him to the widow for the miraculous provision of the remaining days. Elijah did not have a comfortable life, but he surely got what he needed.

God did not promise us an easy life. What He promised is He will never leave us nor forsake us. In all our troubles, the Lord will always be with uus. In our deepest sadness and struggles, let us remember that the Lord is with us. He will never abandon us.

Our Father in heaven will never hid His face from us. What we just need to do is believe in the promises of God and the truth of His word. There is no reason for fear and worry, our God is a living God.

When Miracles Come - July 5, 2018

10:11 PM Devotional , 0 Comments

1 Kings Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 

Today's Thought: Miracles come in difficult times. 


All of us have needs in our lives, though they differ in nature and category. But basically, each person has a yearning for God to intervene in an area of his or her life. God can surely answer difficulties in our situations. We are praying for miracles to come, but it seems that God is not there to deliver us from the situation we are in.

But miracles only come in circumstances we cannot understand. Surely, Elijah had a hard time understanding the situation he was in even to the point of wanting death. It was nearly impossible for him to believe that the Lord would work in the situation. But the Lord did. He sent the raven to feed him, then sent him to the poor widow.

Let us pray for miracles, but let us acknowledge the Lord's provision and sustenance every step of the way. There are miracles we experience everyday, let us thank the Lord for them.
