  YOU ARE A MISSIONARY John 17:6-19 Devotional:- “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (V. 18 NLT) God is working all over the world and He has made you to be part of His work. It is the assignment of God for all Christians that is called Mission (2 Corinthians 5:20) Fulfilling your mission on earth is the fifth purpose of your life. Mission means been sent and every Christians is sent by the Lord (John 20:21). When we are saved, we become members of God’s family and the mission of Jesus becomes our mission.  Your mission is important and it is a continuation of the mission of Jesus. So to ignore it will be a sin (Matthew 28:19-20). It is important because it's a wonderful privilege (2 Corinthians 5:18). It is important because telling others about eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them. That is why it's more important than any other job, achievements of goals you will ever reach in your lifetime. This is because you are connecti...

LOVING GOD

 LOVING GOD     

Matthew 22:34-40
Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (v.37) NKJV


  True disciples of Christ must live in true and total love for God and for His fellow brethren. Since Jesus is love personified, our lives should also reflect the image of the son of God (1 John 4:8). It was love that brought Him to this world. It was love that took him to the cross. It was love that made Him to die in order to redeem us.

Love produces care and kindness, but much more, love makes us to obey the Lord (1 John 4:8). So, the true evidence of love is submission and obedience (John 14:23-24). In the scripture we read today, Jesus thought us to love God with all our heart, which means, we are to love God passionately. We are to love God with all our soul, which means, to allow Him to direct our total being. We are to love God with all our mind, which means, we allow our thinking to agree with that of Jesus (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourself. Do you observe that you love yourself sincerely and responsively? The same way we should do to others (Ephesians 5:29). That is why no true disciple of Jesus can hate anyone. When you start to walk in love towards God and man, then you will be like Christ. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, plant the Spirit of love in me

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.
