PURPOSE OF LOVE

  PURPOSE OF LOVE Romans 5:6-11 Devotional:- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us..” (V. 8). NKJV Sometimes we make such a mistake as loving only our lovers. We do not often think that by this we fulfill the Law of Moses and not the law of grace, loving only those who love us and probably hating those who hate us. But this is not true love. If you understand the purpose of love, you will know that love is not needed when everyone is perfect, but most needed because we are not. The scripture we read today demonstrates one of the greatest acts of God’s love to us. And this is a revelation of God’s love to you. Even though you commit sin and He hates sin, yet He loves you. It is for your sake that He sent Jesus, His only son, to die on the cross. See, people may hate you for one reason or another, but God loves you. He so much believed in you that He had to give up His son to die for your sake (1 John 4:9-10). ...

SELF DISCOVERY

SELF DISCOVERY       

John 1:19-28
Devotional Verse:-“He said: “I am 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Make straight the way of the Lord," ‘as the prophet Isaiah said." (V. 23)



    One of the beauties of serving the Lord is that, it will make you discover who you are and who you are made to be or what you are made to do. When people don't know who they are, they run about in life trying to be like another person. Those who live like others may never be the original of themselves but a photocopy of another. 

    John the Baptist was asked to declare his self-identity and he said; "I am the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. The question is that, have you discovered who you are? Lack of self-identity will make a man to struggle in life, running on another man's track. The word of God says, we will run on our track and not break rank (Joel 2:7). In the course of serving the Lord, you stand the chance of discovering what you are good at doing and what you are made to do. Service helps you to know what you are passionate about and what you are not.

    It is in the course of service that we get to know the talents and gifts that God have planted in us. This helps us to discover our value or what we can exchange for value in life. Without service, man will be so confused about his identity and the devil will give him a life time assignment against the Lord. Friend, you are made by God for God and not for the devil (Isaiah 43:21). Humble yourself to serve in the house of God, in your office and your destiny shall be discovered. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be willing to serve your kingdom

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.
