  SONGS OF LOVE Isaiah 54:1-10 Devotional:- “"Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman," says the LORD.” (V.1) NKJV Most people don’t appreciate the place of singing in love relationship. We often think it is the affair of children to sing to one another. But it is until you try it one day that you will have a great fun between you and your spouse as you sing. That is why the whole Song of Solomon is song of love. If you desire to enjoy the best of Gods love you will have to learn quite a lost of songs. God love songs. It is one of the reasons David and many singers won the heart of God. He even said we should sing a new song to the Lord (Psalms 96:1; Ephesians 5:19). But this is not just singing but worshipping Him. You may not be able to enjoy God’s love to the peak until you learn how to effectively worship Him. This ...

SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION             

Matthew 3:13-17
Devotional Verse:-“But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him” (Vs. 15)

 


    One major lifestyle of citizens of the kingdom of God is submission. Though, it is not the best way to live, but it is the only way to live as children of God. This is because when people don’t submit to God, they will submit to the devil. So, consciously or unconsciously, every man is submitting to something. We can only be truly called the children of God if we submit to God and our leaders in God (James 4:7-8).  
 
    In our Scripture for today, we see that John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus baptized Him. A forerunner is a servant who goes before the master. Jesus knew that John was His forerunner, yet, He submitted Himself to be baptized by him. Why did He do this? It is to fulfill all righteousness.
 
    It is the lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizens to submit themselves to God and the people He has placed over them (1 Peter 2:13, 1 Peter 5:5). To submit is to be humble enough to listen to and obey the leader who speaks to us according to the will of God. If we are submissive, we will not be disobedient to God and His servants (Ephesians 5:12). Don’t be rebellious, but rather, choose to be submissive to the ordinances of God. As you do this, your lifting will soon be evident (1 Peter 5:6). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a submissive spirit.
 
“HE THAT IS NOT SUBMITING TO GOD IS SUBMITTING TO THE DEVIL”

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.
