DCLM Sincere Milk 26 January 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi —Don’t miss out, be a friend of Jesus!
TOPIC: DON’T MISS OUT, BE A FRIEND OF JESUS!
BIBLE TEXT: PSALM 25:12-15
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
KEY VERSE: “The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant” (PSALM 25:14).
MESSAGE
The way friends share secrets, so also does God share secrets with His friends, that is, those who are His children. He told Abraham His secrets. He did the same with Paul the apostle, Daniel and some of His other friends. God reveales deep things about Himself to His friends. He also tells His friends things that will happen in future. Jesus is God who desires to make friends with all boys and girls.
To be His friend, you must sincerely repent of your sins and ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour. Just as friends spend good time together talking and listening to each other, you must spend time talking with God in prayer. You must also read, think on God’s word and listen to God’s voice when He speaks to you. God is looking for children to bless and use for His glory like Daniel, Paul, Esther and Ruth in the Bible. Would you want to be one of them? Then, be a genuine friend of Jesus, fear Him and live in obedience to His word.
PRAYER: O Lord Jesus, please help me to love You and obey You all the time.
FURTHER READING: James 2:23
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
