ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE

  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

PRESS INTO IT

PRESS INTO IT     

Luke 16:14-18
Read: "The law and the prophets were until John: Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it” (v. 16)


    
     When you want to build a house, you will need a landed property. You cannot just jump on any land and start building, since it is not your own. You will need to first buy a landed property. Even when you buy it from the right owner, yet there are forces that will want to hinder you from building. That is why you must be strong (Ephesians 6:10)
 
    This is the reason it's never going to be easy gaining root and be strong in God. It is only people who are willing to pay the price that will access it. (Mark 8:34). The devil who has been ruling there before, will want to rule over every one. You are the one to stand your ground to say NO!
 
    Friend, don’t expect it to be easy to read your Bible or to be in church. The devil won’t make it easy for you to wake up to pray. The flesh will not encourage you to wait on the Lord in prayer and fasting. It won’t ever be easy to pick books and read or serve the Lord or go for soul winning exercises. These are the practices of the citizen of the kingdom of God. Jesus said, you must press into it. So, wake up and make up your mind on who rules over your life, Jesus or devil. Then you will make it to eternity. Stand up and press into it. You will win. 
 
Prayer: Lord strengthen me to press on
 
“LOOKING BACK IS MORE DANGEROUS, PRESS ON!

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.
