  LOVE OF GOD I John 4:7-19 Devotional:- “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” (V. 7) NIV You can hardly separate these two virtues; they are love and joy. They work together as twin brothers. You cannot love and not be joyful. In this season of joy, one of the things you must give room to for your joy to come is love. If you were not billing to love, you may not see joy. They have the same source; they both come from God (Psalm 16:11, 1 John 4:8) The scripture we read today said, Love comes from God and love is God. This means God cannot be in you and you can still hate. If you do, it is a sign that you are not born of God. You cannot be stealing and cheating, and you say you are a child of God. The bible teaches us how to truly demonstrate love. This is by following the example of God. He demonstrated His own love by giving us His most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Love and giving have the same mea...

RHEMA

 RHEMA       

1 Samuel 17:31-38
Devotional: -“Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God" (V. 36) NKJV


   Rhema is the spoken word of God. It generates tremendous energy of the Spirit; so much that God through it creates the heavens and the earth (John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3). The spoken word of God is the creative force of God. All children of God can access it for the solution of all form of challenges. 
 
   Please know that the written word of God (Logos) is different from the spoken word of God (Rhema). In bracket are the Hebrew names of those different words. The written word can do nothing (John 6:63, 2 Corinthians 3:6). Carrying the Bible or mere quoting it does not result to anything. Only the spoken word can manifests the energy of the spirit.
 
   To get the spoken word that produces the energy of the Spirit, we have to meditate on the written word ‘Logos’ (Psalms 119:97-100; Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3). We get the spoken words of God as we read or listen to men who are inspired by the Holy Spirit (2Chronicles 20:10-17)
 
   We get the spoken word of God as we learn to acknowledge the Holy Spirit for direction and our ears of the Spirit is trained to hear God (Romans 3:5-6). Please, know that in any given situation, the spoken word of God will energize you and make you strong to overcome (Ezekiel 2:2). Most of the miracles in the scripture came after the word was spoken. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me your word for the manifestation of your power in my life.
 
“WHERE THE WORD OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS POWER”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
