  GOD WITH YOU Esther 8:9-17 Devotional:- “The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor” (v.16) NKJV      There is nothing as beautiful as when God is with a man. All things will just be working wonderfully for him. Such a person enjoys God’s favour and mercy. He enjoys the grace of God. And as a result of grace, God preserves him from all evil and prospers his endeavour. The enemy of such a person will always be put to shame, and because of God’s presence with him, He will always be filled with testimonies of joy. Do you know that this is God’s plan for your life because the Lord is with you? (Isaiah 43:2). Though the Jews were in a land of slavery, the presence of the Lord was with them. And by this, they were preserved and protected. At one time, a man rose against the Jews to destroy them, but God fought for them (Romans 8:31).

SACRIFICIAL LOVE

SACRIFICIAL LOVE     

John 13: 31-35
Devotional:-“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (v.35) NKJV


  Many Christians has grown so selfish because of the principles they have adopted. So, no matter the negative effect of their decision on others, as long as it profits them, they are okay. Today in the name of business strategies, we cut and wound each other. We don’t mind if others close down just for us to rise. 

   As long as you want to be a disciple of Christ, you must be willing to live in love. Jesus our master Himself is love personified (1 John 4:8). He sacrificed His life for us to be redeemed. So also, you and I must live a life of sacrificial love towards others. This is when we can resemble Christ.

The kind of love we should love people is called agape love, in the Greek meaning. This means a selfless love (1 John 4:10). Counting others to be equally important, seeking to let go our profit to help the weak (1 John 4:11). This is the kind of love God can reward. This is the love that can gain the attention of God. This love makes Abraham to be willing to sacrifice Isaac (Gen. 21:9). This love makes God to give us His only Son (John 3:16). This is the love that can identify us as a true disciple of Jesus. Receive grace to live in the love of Christ. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to bear the fruits of true love.

"LOVE IS OUR IDENTITY WITH CHRIST"
