NATURE OF LOVE

  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...

STUDY        

Proverbs 25:1-7
Devotional: -“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter” (V. 2) NKJV



   To study is to be curious. To study is to go on a search. To study is to give quality attention to find out a matter. To study is to put in quality attention to access the deep secret or mystery of an information. We can access the power in the word of God by studying the word.  Those who will not study, will not be able to access the power.

   The word of God says to us, that God takes glory and honour in hiding things. That means, though the power of God is available to all but not all will access it. The word of God tells us that only Kings or Ruler takes the honour in searching the power in the word of God. God makes His power a secret i.e. a bank, because He wants people to pay the price of searching (Deuteronomy 29:29). This is because, whatever that is common only makes common people, but only deep searchers are ordained by their discoveries to rule. As much as the word of God is powerful, each of us has to pay the price of studying.

   Let us therefore be willing to commit our lives and energy to studying the word of God. It is not a mere book or a mere word but the power bank of God. The riches of this world are not found on the surface. You do not need to give yourself to studying volume at a time, but be consistent in your study. This is by satisfying the questions of your heart by the help of the Holy Spirit. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart to always study your word.

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.
