  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...

DON’T WORRY

DON’T WORRY

Matthew 6:25-34
Devotional Verse:-"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Vs. 25)

 


    Worry is not a lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizen. Our lifestyle as citizens of the kingdom of God is the life of complete trust in God. People worry because of unpredictable help, uncertain hope or unfulfilled promises. When a man is in a time of need, he wants to have a word of assurance of his help. If there is a promise that is lingering, it naturally creates room for worry and tension (Prov. 13:12). 
 
    Worry is a function of faith becoming weary. It is a function of confidence becoming weak. Worry is a sign or feeling of being abandoned. It is simply human to worry but as children of God, we should know that God is not a man (Numbers 23:19). Whenever you are relating with God, you should not make the mistake of thinking that He is a man who will fail.
 
    Whenever God makes promises, He always fulfills them (1 Thessalonian 5:24). When He promises us anything, He expects us to believe Him in faith to obey Him. Our worries will not let God keep us close enough because they are offensive to Him. Thank God! He understands our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). We really need to pray to overcome the habit of worrying. We need to cultivate the habit of trusting God by depending on Him. That way, we can easily receive our blessings from Him. You will not fail in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over worry. 

“WORRY IS NOT A CONCERN BUT A WEAKNESS”.

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.
