DARLING OF GOD I John 4:11-21 Devotional:- “If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” (V. 20) NKJV God has some darlings He loves in the world, and they also love Him. They seek Him, and He seeks them. They long for Him, and He longs for them. You will know such people by the way they relate to others. Today, most people think the measure for their love for God is by the number of chapters of the Bible they read daily, the number of hours and times they pray daily, the numerous assignments they do in the church or the number of posts they occupy in the church. All of these are good things to do for the Lord, but it is not a true measurement of our love for God.

THE MERCIFUL        

Luke 6:30-36
Devotional Verse:-“Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful” (Vs. 36)

 

    One of the lifestyles of the kingdom of God which was among the teachings of Jesus is being merciful. This attitude gives us access to the blessings of God.
     
    To be merciful is to be considerate or compassionate on others. People may offend us but we need to deal with them with consideration. Jesus taught us that it is when we are merciful that we can obtain mercy. It is in the nature of God to give mercy (Exodus 33:4-6). So, as citizens of the kingdom of God, when we show mercy, we are taking after our father in whose image we are made. That is why you must not let things affect you negatively. You must not allow people’s negative attitude to get inside of you. Make up your mind never to hold anyone in your heart. This will help you to be able to easily forgive others.
 
    If anyone has offended you either in the office, home, church, etc, be merciful to them, so that God can also show you mercy. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help and give me a merciful heart to enjoy your mercy. 
 
“WHEN YOU ARE MERCIFUL, YOUR LIFE WILL BE FULL OF GOD’S MERCY”.
