  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “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,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

IDLENESS

IDLENESS

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Devotional verse: “that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you” (v. 11)


    It is often said, that an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. When a heart is not occupied with a meaningful assignment, then it’s bound to take junks. There is no vacuum mind, a mind is either occupied with positive or negative activities.
   Idleness is a function of lack of vision and focus. One of the reasons some have become terrible is that they are idle. Our scriptures today teach us to work and be busy in our assignment. We are to determine needed actions for our success and be busy following it. Living in idleness creates room for the enemy to interfere in your affair. Every child of God ought to be running on a vision. 

    In the realm of the spirit, idleness is a dangerous thing. Jesus gave us a parable that when the devil is casted out, he looks for an idle place to stay (Matthew 12:43-45). He will then go to take seven more spirit with himself, and then the end of that man will be terrible. Idleness makes you receive all manner of comments not meant for you. Identify your vision, keep pursuing it, and your life shall be full of great happenings. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, make my life busy for your glory.

“WHAT YOU DON’T USE, YOU WILL LOOSE”.

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.
