A SINGING HEART

  A SINGING HEART Ephesians 5:10-20 Devotional:- “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” (v.19) NKJV Singing always, to some people, is equal to madness. Some believe that if you see a man who has never had a time of sorrow, then he is not a man. According to them, life must have ups and downs. But do you know that God want to simply make your days full of joy and void of sorrow. That is why Christ came to carry our sorrows away. If He has come to carry our sorrow away, then it is wrong to expect yourself to still be living in what is no more available (Isaiah 53:4). What the bible is teaching us today is contrary to what men will teach. God’s word wants us to always sing and be joyful. That is why God’s word says; rejoice in the Lord always and not sometimes (Philippians 4:4). Listen to this, if you want to be joyful and void of sorrow for the rest of your life, you need to pray it into your life. Sing...

LOVE YOUR ENEMY

LOVE YOUR ENEMY    

Matthew 5:43-48
Devotional Verse:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” (Vs. 44).

 

    When we act in love, we demonstrate what is in our heart (Matthew 12:35). If we are truly changed people, we will crave to demonstrate love in all that we do (John 13:35). To know whether we are truly changed or not, God always uses cases that looks negative to test us (Deut. 8:2-3). So, let us learn ahead of time to pass whenever we are tested.
    Jesus said that if we love only our friends, then we are not better than the unbelievers who also love their friends (Matthew 5:46). Wicked people make friends amongst themselves and take care of themselves. What is the difference between the unbeliever and us? If we are truly children of God, then we must forgive and love our enemies. God gives His rain and sun to both the wicked and the Righteous (Matthew 5:44-45).
 
    To be able to love everyone, we must grow in the habit of forgiving people (Matthew 6:14-15). We must learn to always love people so that when they demonstrate hatred towards us, we will show them love because that is what we are. This is only possible when we pray for our enemies like Jesus has commanded us (Luke 23:34). When you do this, your heart will be rich and mature in God (Matthew 5:48). Then you will be ready for your lifting in God. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord Plant the spirit of love in my heart in Jesus name.
 
“WHATEVER YOU DEMONSTRATE IS YOUR QUALITY”.

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.

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.

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.
