THE KINGDOM STYLE


Scriptural Reading: LUKE 22:24-27

Text: "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Matt. 20:28).


COMMENTARY

Because it is the pattern of life that God has approved for His children, Jesus Christ will always be a model for true Christians. Throughout His life and ministry on earth, Jesus lived as a servant, both in words and in deeds. However, we see a contradiction in the lives of many people who identify as Christians today: lords and masters in our churches and homes instead of servants.

It would be amazing to envision a world, a church, or a family in which everyone serves others. At the same time, we must crucify the flesh if we are to become capable of continuously exhibiting the servant attitude. To be like our Master, we must first overcome the flesh, which is one of the Christian's worst foes. The greatest people in God's kingdom are those who serve, and the least are those who demand to be served. We pray that you would choose to follow the Master's pattern.


Prayer Points:

1. Lord, I repent of every form of pride in my life in Jesus name.

2. I dedicate my life to kingdom service in Jesus name.

3. Lord, enable me to humble myself in Jesus name.


Sleeping Capsule

He that exalts himself will be humble, and the humble will be exalted. There is joy in genuine service.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
