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...

CONTINUOUS PROMOTION

CONTINUOUS PROMOTION             

James 1:12-20
Devotional:- “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (V. 12)


   The reason why a child of God should keep living a victorious life is because by it, we keep having our promotion in the strength of the spirit. Every time a child of God overcome a challenge the revelation and the faith that gives us victory becomes our testimony and make us to have a new rank in God.
 
   That is why the Bible tells us not to blame anyone for going through challenges (James 1:13-14). We are challenged because it is our weakness that allows it. When a Christian is not praying very well or relaxing in relating with God or in studying the Bible or serving, the devil will soon take advantage to sneak into his life and cause a problem. That is when the presence of God we use to avoid, becomes where we will run to (Psalm 34:4). 
 
   This makes us to awake and rise up in God to find our victory. Though, it ought not to be so, but it’s like, that’s how we are. So, whenever you are faced with any kind of challenge in most cases, it’s because your spiritual tyre is deflated. You will need to search your way out and double up in strength (Isaiah 59:1-2). So, warm up, arise and face your challenges. Stop running about. You are up to it (1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 John 4:4). You are about to overcome and move to a new realm of power. Peace. 
 
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to arise

“WE ARE BOUND TO OVERCOME FOR OUR PROMOTION”

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.
