LOVE SO MUCH

  LOVE SO MUCH John 3:9-21 Devotional:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (V. 16) NKJV   Men need to begin to wake up to the understanding of the great love God has for us. It has been the strategy of the enemy all the while to make us feel God did not love us. That is in our mind. The infomation available to us has made us feel God is that big and wicked boss of heaven and the earth that goes about looking for people He will condemn and kill. But this is not true of God. The Bible present God to us as a God of love. In the past, before I knew the Lord, anytime I read the scripture, God so loved… I ask myself, where is the love? It looks like an ordinary religious statement to entice and deceive the sons of men. Later, I became mature enough to know that the Bible is the book of the truth. It has neither exaggeration nor extravagant words. And it is nothing but the...

EMPTY PROMISES

EMPTY PROMISES        

Matthew 5:23-37
Devotional Verse:- “But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne” (Vs. 34).

     Many people make promises but lack the ability to fulfill them. Some promises had better not be put to heart because the maker might fail to take the responsibility of fulfilling them. Making promises without fulfilling them should not be the lifestyle of any citizen of the kingdom of God (Eccl 5:5).


     In today’s Scripture, Jesus teaches us to stop making empty promises; insisting that there is no need to swear any oath as a child of God (Deuteronomy 23:22). The Bible says that we must let our ‘yes be yes’ and our ‘no be no’ (Matthew 5:37). Jesus also said that making empty promises is the practice of the evil one which is ungodly.
 
    Whenever we are faced with legal issues that demand swearing with the Bible, God expects us to say what we mean and mean what we say. Don’t promise what you can’t do because it will put you in bond age (Proverbs 22:26-27). You are not living to please anyone but God (1 Thessalonians 2:4). Always be sincere with yourself. It is only by doing this that you will find peace and integrity. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me not to just swear but to always say the truth 
 
“MAKING EMPTY PROMISES IS AN UNGODLY ACT”.

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.
