GOD WITH YOU

  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). A letter went out from the King for all the Jews to be destroyed, but God turned it around in their favour. So they were victorious, an...

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.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
