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). ...

ACTIVITIES OF THE BODY

ACTIVITIES OF THE BODY    

Romans 8:9-17
Devotional:- “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”. (V. 11) NKJV


   Your body is your life jacket. It helps you to relate with the physical world. However, it has no strength of its own. It derives its strength from the spirit through the soul. No matter how physically fit anyone is, when the spirit is out, all the muscles will be as weak as vegetables. The soul of a man of muscle can be frustrated to sorrow (Proverbs 18:14). This is because it depends on the energy of the spirit to give it life (John 6:63) MSG.
 
   The word of God says, if the Holy Spirit is in you it will strengthen your body to come alive. That is why you need to cherish the word and the spirit of God. If the Holy Spirit is not moving you, especially as a child of God, then the devil can always frustrate and discourage you.
 
   Friend, the time has come for you to cherish the place of the Holy Spirit in your life. You will discover that people who don't bother about the things of the Spirit of God could be having some substances but it cannot last, because they are helped but not by the Holy Spirit. But as a child of God you need to consciously cherish the Holy Spirit. Sickness, weakness or incapability are all products of the energy from the negative spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there will be liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). Your strength has come. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, there shall be no room for weakness in my body any more, for I am the temple of the Holy Spirit.
 
“THE SPIRIT AT WORK IN YOU DETERMINES YOUR ACTIVITIES”

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 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.
