  NATURE OF LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-8  Devotional:- "suffers long and is kind .. does not envy.. does not parade itself…” (V. 4). Since men do not have the actual understanding of love, they turn it into lust. And now it is lust most people call love. It is the reason for most frustration and discouragement today. The scripture we read today revealed to us the true nature of love. It reveals to us that no man’s service shall be acceptable or profitable until he puts in love (v. 1-3). The beautiful thing about the nature oflove is that it is the nature of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8). And if God dwells in us, love should also be demonstrated in us. The scripture says, love suffers long, that is why God loves to forgive his own people. Several times we have turned away from him, yet He does not turn away from us. He still looks for us. So also we should do for all we love. Love is kind, and that is why God has been kind to us. He doesn’t condemn us; He wants us to repent (E...

ISAAC CREATION

Lesson 01 - My Bible First - Kids Club Online Bible AcademyISAAC CREATION

Genesis 26:12-22
Devotional-“Also Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there”  (V. 19)


   As we study the word of God, it is expected of us to trust the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the factors of creation in God. So that, we also can employ these forces. This should be done with a total sense of responsibility. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things (John 14:26). We therefore have the privilege of the Spirit of the living God to show us the hidden wisdom in the word of God.


   The word of God tells us that Isaac prosper in the land greatly and you will also prosper in Jesus name. Let us therefore learn what he did. Isaac created his own prosperity during famine. This was when others were going hungry. God appeared to him and instructed him to remain in the land where there is famine (Genesis 26:1-4). This is because light is only celebrated where there is darkness. By this factor of obedience, by revelation, he started farming, digging well and watering through irrigation (Genesis 26:12-13; Genesis 26:15).

   One of the trigger of the forces of creation employed by Isaac was obedience to God (Isaiah 1:19). He also employed faith in the ability of God to bless him in times of famine (Mark 9:23). He also employed the factor of team work, motivating his servants to dig well. At the end, God started blessing the work of his hand (Psalms 5:12). He started creating his own prosperity. You are the next. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to arise in you for my progress.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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

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

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.
