OUR HUSBAND

  OUR HUSBAND Ephesians 5:25-32 Devotional:- “Husbands love your wives Just as Christ also loved the church… “ (V.25) I believe it is a great privilege for a woman to have a husband. This is someone who is referred to as the head of her. Someone who takes responsibility for taking care of her and the entire house, someone who oversees everyone in the home. Women, in most cases, often make their husbands a confidant. This allows them to shift some of their responsibilities to the man of the house. They, on their side, feel relaxed under the umbrella of “at least I am not the husband. In time past, I used to feel cheated as a man when women enjoyed their liberty in the house, and the man carried the burden, until I discovered this truth in the scripture that Jesus is the husband of all Christians, both men and women. Then I don’t have to be the one to carry the entire problem. I put it over to the husband and the head of all of us. He loves all of us together. He is up to the task. H...

FORGIVING

FORGIVING      

Matt. 6:9-15
Devotional Verse:- "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” (Vs. 14)

    One of the beautiful natures of the Kingdom of God is to always forgive people. This attitude is given to us by the Spirit of God in us. Jesus demonstrated it on the cross of Calvary. He prayed that God should forgive those crucifying Him (Luke 23:34). As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you should not only pray to forgive but you should also be ready to forgive even before offenses come.
    To forgive is to give people love instead of anger. Naturally, when people offend us, our emotions become negative, intending that we reward the offender with vengeance. But because of the Holy Spirit in us, we are capable of showing love, for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8, Gal. 5:22) Don’t forget that if you sow anger, you will reap bitterness, but if you sow mercy and love, you will reap love (Gal. 6:7).
 
    When you forgive someone you ought to be bitter against, you release God to that person because God is love. By doing that, the Holy Spirit will not give the person rest (Proverbs 25:21-22). This is the lifestyle of the people in God’s Kingdom. An unforgiving attitude brings a man into the cage of bitterness and closes his heaven (Matt. 6:15).  Don’t join them!
 
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from unforgiving spirit
 
“WHEN YOU FORGIVE, YOU LEAVE VENGEANCE TO GOD"

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.
