  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...

CONQUERING

CONQUERING           

Psalms 110:1-7
Devotional:- “The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool" (V. 1)       


   To be victorious, is to conquer the power that stands against you. A victorious Christian is the one that is standing strong and refusing to be defeated. A victorious Christian is the one that faces his challenge and stand strong till he gains victory. A victorious Christian is the one who does not give in to the tricks of the devil. To be victorious is to put the devil right under your feet (Romans 16:20).
 
   The Bible says the way to achieve this is to sit at the right hand of the Lord. To sit at the right hand of God is to sit in the place of His power. To sit in the place of His power means to sit where you command forces by the authority of God (Luke 10:19, Psalm 103:20).
 
   This can only happen as we walk in the faith of the word of God. The word of God says Jesus receive the great power of God and is now sited at the right hand of the father. This place is far above the reach of the powers of the devil (Ephesians 1:19-22). The Bible also says God has given Jesus this position for the church. We are now sited with him in the heavenly place (Ephesians 2:4-6). When your faith can comprehend this revelation, then, you will be strong enough to see the devil under your feet. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me in faith to sit at your right hand.
 
“WHEN YOUR THRONE IS HIGHER, THEN YOU ARE ABOVE THE DEVIL”

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.
