LOVE SO MUCH

  LOVE SO MUCH John 3:9-21 Devotional:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (V. 16) NKJV   Men need to begin to wake up to the understanding of the great love God has for us. It has been the strategy of the enemy all the while to make us feel God did not love us. That is in our mind. The infomation available to us has made us feel God is that big and wicked boss of heaven and the earth that goes about looking for people He will condemn and kill. But this is not true of God. The Bible present God to us as a God of love. In the past, before I knew the Lord, anytime I read the scripture, God so loved… I ask myself, where is the love? It looks like an ordinary religious statement to entice and deceive the sons of men. Later, I became mature enough to know that the Bible is the book of the truth. It has neither exaggeration nor extravagant words. And it is nothing but the...

HUMILITY TO SERVE

HUMILITY TO SERVE           

1 Peter 5:5-11
Devotional Verse: -“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time” (V. 6)


   Service demands humility. As glorious as service is to the destiny of man, it can only be done when we are humble. God, in his wisdom has put the solution of each person's problem into the hand of others. Yet, when you are bringing solution to people, you still need to be humble before they will accept your services. Yes, people need your services to help them out, but you must be humble before they can allow you into their lives (Genesis 40:5-8).
 
  The word of God says, we should be humbled for God to be able to exalt us. This is because; God gives grace to the humble. No matter how important what you are doing is, people will need to check your attitude before they accept you and allow you over their lives. Yes, they may need to pay you much later, but that will be after they have found you acceptable.
 
   Friend, the spirit of pride will close the door God has created for you. Be mature to look away from the negative comment of men. Keep putting in your best as you serve. You are not sent to everyone and everyone doesn’t need to accept you. As you continue to humbly serve, God will bring people who will celebrate you and encourage you. Keep your profile low; soon, it will be up. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace of a humble heart.
 
“HUMILITY GIVES YOU A SOFT LANDING IN THE HEART OF PEOPLE”

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).

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.
