PEACE

  PEACE John 14:19-31  Devotional:- “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (27) NKJV Peace has been the desire of every nation and tribe. Even the United Nations (UN) is set up for peacemaking in the world. But the more the world seeks peace, the less they have it. This is because man cannot give peace. Until the world embraces the Prince of Peace, her peace may not be established. Though we are in the world, we are not of the world. The love of Christ for us has given us peace. He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). The world does not know this because they are not of his own. Peace is a product of the love of God for you. If you don’t have it, receive it from today. This peace begins in our heart, and it goes on to affect everything around us. Since the world does not have it within, they cannot manifest it. Jesus said, He has given you His peace. So, you have it fro...

LOVE AND RESTORATION

LOVE AND RESTORATION  

Read: Luke 15:11-32
For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry. (Vs. 24)

    The God of this kingdom is love personified (1 John 4:7-8). That is, He Himself is love. Citizens of the kingdom of God always enjoy the demonstration of the love of God. This love attitude of God makes us enjoy forgiveness of our sins and restoration to fellowship with Him. This is not a practice in the other kingdom.
 
    We read today about the parable of a lost son. We are used to call him the prodigal son. This parable relays the attitude of the love of God to us. It demonstrates how God allows us to make mistakes, repent of them and eventually accepts us when we return to Him.
 
    The prodigal son demanded for his right from the father. This is how we ought to ask things from God in prayers for He always answer our prayers (Matthew 7:7-12). He has covenanted Himself to us to do so. So, be bold to always turn to Him in prayers, making your requests known to Him (Mark 11:24). In his suffering, he came back to his senses (Luke 15:17). He humbled himself, made up his mind and went back to the father to ask for mercy. Whenever you are away from God and you feel the pains, return to Him with a sincere heart and you will find forgiveness (1 John 1:7-9) and God will fully restore your joy (Ps. 51:12). Grace and strength in God can be restored. I see your joy come back to you. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, restore all that I have lost in Christ
 
“IN GOD, ALL THINGS CAN BE RESTORED”

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.
