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...

LOVING THE KING

LOVING THE KING    

1 John 4:12-21
Devotional: “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (V. 16)
    
     Anyone who want to be part of the kingdom of God must be willing to love the king of the kingdom. Those who do not love the king cannot have the best of the kingdom. The foundation on which the kingdom of God is built is love. That is why it become so important for all in the kingdom to build in the foundation of love. This is so important because God is love (1 John 4:7-8)
 
    To love Jesus who is the King, you must be willing to accept Him as your Lord and savior. This is because He has shed His precious blood to redeem your soul (Revelation 5:9). To love Him you must be willing to obey His instructions (John 14:15). To love Him you must love other people also (1 John 4:20). To love Him you must love His word (Psalms 119:97-99). To love Him you will love to spend time with Him in worship and prayers daily (Job 22:21). To love Him you will love to serve Him (Job 36:11). To love Him you must be a giver and be willing to share His good news with others (John 21:15-19). 
 
    Friend, this is what it takes to have the best of the kingdom of God. This will be possible by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). And the king will bless you. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, let the Holy Spirit help me to love the Lord indeed
 
"ONLY THE LOVER OF GOD WILL STAND TO THE END"

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.
