DON'T HATE

  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

LOVING GOD

LOVING GOD                     

John 21:15-19
Devotional:- “He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep”” (V. 17)


   
   Whoever that has chosen the Lord Jesus to be his Lord, must also choose to love God. Most people stop at just choosing Jesus, but they don’t really love God. Those who love God will go extra mile to obey and serve Him. Many want the blessings of Jesus, but they don’t want His yoke (Matthew 11:29-30).
 
   Jesus asked Peter, do you love me more than material things? Peter responded, I do, Jesus then told him, feed my sheep. In order words, take my yoke upon you. Be responsible to obey me. Take part in my responsibility. This is because a responsible person will enjoy more grace of God for victory.
 
   Friend, stop playing smartness with God. Stop coming to church when you feel like. That means God is not important to you. If you love Him, you will obey and serve Him (Job 36:11). Jesus said, if you love me you will obey me (John 14:15). David said, the seal of your house have consumed me (Psalms 69:9). If you love God, you will use your gifts and talents to serve Him. Then, you will enjoy His blessings (Isaiah 54:17; Psalms 23:4-6). Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart to serve you
 
“WHEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TOWARDS GOD, HE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TOWARDS YOU”

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.
