WALK IN HUMILITY: Daily Devotional

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life - (John 8:12)

The Lord Jesus is our perfect example in all: He was humbleness personified. You could not follow it or imitate it and miss out on your path. He said, "... he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." You could not follow his steps and walk with pride; that's impossible.

Some say they are afraid that pride will take over them, no; not when you truly know and follow Jesus. The way in which He is followed is by the Word. Be a maker of the Word. 1 Peter 5:5 says, "You also, younger, submit to the elders. Yes, all of you, be submissive to one another, clothed in humility, for God resists pride, and grants grace to the humble."

Be subject to the Lord and His Word; it is true humility. In Philippians 2:3 (AMPC), the Spirit adjures. Do nothing on the grounds of faction [by quarreling, discord, selfishness, or for unworthy purposes] or motivated by vanity and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (the humility of the spirit) everyone consider others to be better than and superior to himself. [Think above each other that you do of yourself]. Essentially, He said, "Be humble!" Despise not your brethren in Christ, above all your rulers in the Lord; be subdued.

Pride derives from the devil. He led to his self-exaltation; and for his pride, God cast him out of his place of honor. Take a conscious decision to walk humbly. This is part of manifesting the life of Christ within you. He gets the promotion. The Bible says that God resists pride and grants more grace to the meek. This grace translates into honor, growth, expansion and progress. Hallelujah!

Happiness - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 Happiness is something that we all desire and seek in our lives. It is a feeling of contentment, joy, and satisfaction. As Christians, we know that our ultimate source of happiness is God. However, sometimes in our daily lives, we can get caught up in the challenges and struggles we face, and we forget to be happy and grateful for what we have. The Bible verse above reminds us that every day is a gift from God, and we should rejoice and be glad in it. No matter what we may face in our daily lives, we can always find something to be grateful for and something to be happy about. It could be something as small as a beautiful sunrise, a kind word from a friend, or a moment of peace in our hearts. As Christians, we have the assurance that no matter what we face, God is with us, and He will never leave us or forsake us. This should bring us great joy and happiness, even in the mids...

Make Time for God: Daily Devotional

“Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:1-3 (KJV) Making enough time each day to meet with God is sure to lead to your breakthrough. There was something King David did that help him to enjoying victory from time to time. It was about the quality of time spent with God. He spent time in fellowship with God in the mornings, meditating on God's Word. There were times when he prayed three times a day (Psalm 55:17). My beloved, do not rush to work or any activity in the morning without first praying. A Christian's prayer life is his lifeline; The moment you stop praying, you begin to die (Luke 18:1). You cannot succeed by your own grace or power; Therefore, make time to pray and meditate on the Word of God, and God will cause you to walk in victory and en...

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations.
