DARLING OF GOD

DARLING OF GOD I John 4:11-21 Devotional:- “If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” (V. 20) NKJV God has some darlings He loves in the world, and they also love Him. They seek Him, and He seeks them. They long for Him, and He longs for them. You will know such people by the way they relate to others. Today, most people think the measure for their love for God is by the number of chapters of the Bible they read daily, the number of hours and times they pray daily, the numerous assignments they do in the church or the number of posts they occupy in the church. All of these are good things to do for the Lord, but it is not a true measurement of our love for God. Most of these are what make us grow in Christ, but the fundamental measurement of our love for God is how much we love others (1 Corinthians 13:1-2). All other spiritual activities must be bo...

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM   

1 Peter 2:1-10
Read:  “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."” (v. 6)


   Jesus laid the foundation of the kingdom of God we are in today. He has brought us in as a domain of God. (Colossians 1:13). This foundation was laid by the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. This is the major reason He died on the cross that we might be brought in and be purchased into God by His blood. (Revelation 5:9-10). This foundation was prophesied by the prophets in Isaiah 28:16, 8:14.
 
   Jesus was speaking about the foundation of this kingdom in Luke 20:17-18. Apostle Peter also refer to it as the Chief corner stone (1 Peter 2:6). This is because the blood of Jesus contains the life of Christ (Leviticus 17:11). He became the sacrifice for our salvation and the price of our redemption (Revelation 5:9-10).
 
   That is why no power can tamper with you because your life is built on the life of Christ (Colossians 3:3). Whoever wants to destroy you must be destroyed. Why? Jesus died to give you this salvation and who ever want to take you from it must die too. No matter what you are faced with, you cannot be ashamed but overcome. The life of Christ will always fight for you and give you victory (Revelation 12:11). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to stand firm on this foundation of Christ.
 
“YOUR FOUNDATION IN CHRIST CAN NO MORE BE MOLESTED, THE OLD IS OVER FOREVER”

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.
