DON'T HATE

  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...

PROMOTION

PROMOTION     

Genesis 39:1-6
Devotional Verse:-“So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority” (V. 4)



    No one enjoys a stagnant life. No one wants a life that is not moving forward. God designs your life to be progressive (Proverbs 4:18). That is why you must work in the wisdom of God for your promotion. There is God factor concerning your life and there are factors you have to take steps about. It is in using what God has giving to you that you become better and you can grow up better (Hebrews 5:14).


   We saw in the bible how Joseph was sold to slavery by his brothers (Genesis 37:26-28). Notwithstanding the situation of Joseph, he was wise enough to give himself to service in the house of Potiphar. As Joseph served faithfully, God brought him into promotion (Genesis 39:4). No matter what people have done to you, all you need to do is to give yourself to service and God will promote you (Psalms 75:6-7).

   Men’s promotion may be temporary, but God’s promotion is permanent (Ezekiel 3:14). It is therefore important that you humble yourself to serve. This is not limited only to house of the Lord. Serving God is doing your work or business with the motive of serving the Lord. This is doing your work not as men pleasers, but as pleasing the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-8). Stop doing what you are doing just for the sake of money. Yes, you should make profit in all your endeavors. But let your motive be to work as service unto God. Then, your promotion will come (Mark 10:44-45). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let my promotion come from you

“WHEN GOD PROMOTES, NO ONE DEMOTES”

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.
