“He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Luke 11:23”

Devotion : This was a profound statement made by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is clear that no one can be on the fence in this world; you are either for Jesus or against Him.

Either you are winning souls for Him or you are turning souls away from Him; there is no middle ground. Those who are in the world or those who are not born again are against Jesus Christ; no one can dispute it.

However, those who are born again must ask themselves whether they are for or against Jesus. This is the truth from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s point of view.

Dear beloved, it is time for you to ask yourself this personal question: “Am I for Jesus Christ or against Him?” We are in a perverse generations marked by immoralities thereby deviating from what is right.

In Philippians 2:5, Apostle Paul admonished saying “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus”. He was telling them to develop a mind of love, true fellowship, avoid being selfish and understanding among brethren as recorded in Philippians 2:1-4.

Any one not living ideal Christian life is not on the side of Christ. Any one on the side of Christ will not yield or support evil practices. Romans 12:2 says “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. Are you proving what is good, acceptable and perfect will of God?

Dear beloved, let us strive and be on the Lord’s side so that heaven will be our portion.

Prayer: Almighty and everlasting Father, grant us the grace to walk in your stead and be on Jesus side. This we ask in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1 (KJV)

A shepherd is a person who tends and rears sheep. A shepherd is also someone who guides or directs in a particular direction. Making the Lord your shepherd puts an end to all lack. He is the great provider. If He could turn five loaves of bread and two fishes into abundance to feed five thousand men, not counting children and women, then He can truly take good care of you as recorded in Matthew 14:19–21.

We make Him our shepherd when we believe in Him and make Him our Lord and personal Savior. He guides and directs us through the Holy Spirit. Remember that He is the way, the truth, and the life, so you are guaranteed a wonderful destination if you follow Him (John 14:6).

You can hear His voice if the Word of God dwells in you richly, and it becomes easy to follow Him and enjoy the best of Him.

Dear beloved, make the Lord Jesus Christ your shepherd, and be intimate with Him through the fellowship of His Word and His Spirit. Then enjoy all the good pleasure of His will till eternity.

Prayer Point: My dear heavenly Father, thank you for your Word. I make Jesus Christ my shepherd today and make up my mind to become intimate with Him in order to enjoy the best of Him. Please let me never forget to fellowship with Him every day. Amen!
