LOVE OF GOD

  LOVE OF GOD I John 4:7-19 Devotional:- “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” (V. 7) NIV You can hardly separate these two virtues; they are love and joy. They work together as twin brothers. You cannot love and not be joyful. In this season of joy, one of the things you must give room to for your joy to come is love. If you were not billing to love, you may not see joy. They have the same source; they both come from God (Psalm 16:11, 1 John 4:8) The scripture we read today said, Love comes from God and love is God. This means God cannot be in you and you can still hate. If you do, it is a sign that you are not born of God. You cannot be stealing and cheating, and you say you are a child of God. The bible teaches us how to truly demonstrate love. This is by following the example of God. He demonstrated His own love by giving us His most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Love and giving have the same mea...

GOD AND MONEY

GOD AND MONEY

Luke 16:10-13
Devotional Verse: -"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Vs. 13)

 


    Every child of God must know that no one can make money his/her master and still have Jesus as his master. A master is someone from whom you take instructions and obey. Money been a mere paper and material should not govern human beings. But when we take it to be more important than God, then it becomes a master. Believing that it can always meet our needs, we make it our master and allow it to control our thoughts and actions. 
 
   The love of money has chased godliness from our land and brought problems to the nation. The truth is that, money is very important. It is so important because it is a means of exchange in the market. It can buy food but can’t be eaten. It can buy a car but can’t prevent accidents. It can build a house and even employ security guards but can’t give protection. This is why it is wrong to pursue money at the expense of God. 
 
    Though it is very important to labour to make money, you must learn to always give God priority in your life. You need to understand that you can’t replace God with money because it has its own limitations. Don’t submit to the leading of money, which is contrary to the will of God because it will hinder your help in the future. The pursuit of money is successful when God gives you the grace. Set your priority right with God and you will never lack any good things in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a master over money in Jesus name

“MONEY AND GOD CANNOT BE YOUR MASTER AT THE SAME TIME”.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
