  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

LIVING SACRIFICE

Living Sacrifice Title Still | twelve:thirty media | WorshipHouse ...LIVING SACRIFICE 
Romans 12:1-9
Devotional Verse – V. 1

As good as it is for man to prosper, as much as it can be a trap if it is not manage by the wisdom of the Lord. Money have the tendency to replace the place of God in the life of a man (Matthew 6:24). It has the power to make a man think he made by himself and become proud (Daniel 4:28-33). That is why, when a man don’t submit to God before handling wealth, there is a tendency to highly be ungodly with wealth. This is the reason God want us to be a living sacrifice unto Him. 

A sacrifice is an animal that is kelled on the alter as ritual. A living sacrifice is the one that is not kelled by already used as a ritual or a sacrifice it no longer belong to it own will but follow the will of the God. The word of God says you should give yourself to God as a living sacrifice to God. How? The word of God says we have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). So we should recon ourselves sacrifice with Jesus on the cross (Romans 6:1-7). So also we are raised with Him but no longer to be what we use to be but now totally belonging to God. We have to put off the old man and put on the new man (Ephesians 4:22-24).

To do this we have to unlearn the custom and culture of this world. We have to be renewed in our mind by studying the way of God through the word of God (Psalms 119:11, Joshua 1:8). Then our way of thinking and acting will be changed to asking for His instruction always (Proverbs 3:5-6). This will always lead us to obey Him in righteousness as a living sacrifice. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be humble to live only onto you

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
