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...

KINGDOM OF POWER

KINGDOM OF POWER           

Read: I Corinthians 4:17-21
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. (Vs. 20)


    Every believer must know that the kingdom of God is characterized with power. It is important that you get used to power as a child of God. As a child of God, you must not be a victim of the devil who is the enemy of God and man. Being involved in a religion makes a man a victim. This is because religion is always void of the manifestation of power (Colossians 2:23).
 
    Power is the demonstration as well as the manifestation of the working strength of God. This working strength of God is the mysteries of God, which when demonstrated in understanding are able to put the devil under a check. The devil cannot contend with the power of God because it is a done deal. It is sealed and already perfected by Jesus on the cross.
 
    That is why as a child of God you must not be ignorant of your right over the power of the enemy. If the Spirit of God is in you, then you should get angry and pray for people whenever you see them sick or living under any form of affliction. The reason is that sickness and affliction are the manifestations of the devil. Get used to laying hands on the sick and they will be healed (Mark. 16:17-18). Get used to issuing commands in the name of Jesus and the devil will flee from you (James 4:7; I Peter 5:9). Don’t ever be in doubt or fear. (2 Tim 1:7; James 1:6-7). As you do this, you will see the power of God being demonstrated through your life on daily basis. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, baptize me with your power.
 
“IT IS EITHER THE DEVIL FLEES FROM YOU OR YOU FLEE FROM HIM. CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT”

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.
