RELEASING OTHERS

  RELEASING OTHERS Matthew 18:21-35   Devotional:- "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses” (V. 35) NKJV Men can easily shout, “Away with him, kill him,” to others because they are not the offender. Very many parents will bitterly discipline their children for an offence they too have committed in the past, for which they were not killed. It is always easy to be a judge, though most judges cannot stand the face of trial. That is why the word of God instructs us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-6). The scripture we read today reveals the wickedness of men. A man who owed his master so much, just like we all owe God so much. He was forgiven by his master, but cannot forgive his fellow servant. He rather locked him up in police custody for torment. His master heard and also reversed his decision on him for judgement.  Friend, who are the people you have refused to forgive? No matter what they...

NO DIVORCE

NO DIVORCE

Mark 10:1-12
Devotional Verse: -“Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Vs. 9)

 

    In the original plan of God for mankind, there is no plan for divorce. This is because for many, divorce is an optional route to avoid the blessing of growing maturely in marriage. One of the purposes of marriage is to involve a man and a woman in an acceptable intimate relationship (Genesis 2:24). Sincerely, because relationships can sometimes be very demanding and challenging, anyone in it would sometimes want to opt out. That is why God made intimacy necessary for people, except in cases of fornication. 
     We all graduate from schools but we do not graduate from the school of marriage. The wedding day is the graduation day from the school of bachelorhood but there is no end in the school of marriage. This is because marriage is an intimate relationship from where we can truly learn. So, God did not make it for anyone to escape.
 
    The reason God said that He hates divorce is that some people often use it as a means to avoid facing the challenges of marriage (Malachi 2:16). Divorce freedom mentality also gives room for fornication.  So, please don’t have a plan B while in your marriage (Matthew 19:8-9). Plan to stay in your marriage for life. That is when you can be the best and also get the best out of it (Ecclesiastes 2:9). Your marriage will be peaceful in Jesus name. Peace! 
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to have a successful marriage. 
“YOUR MARRIAGE SUCCESS IS YOUR CHOICE”

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.
