  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

CHRIST LIKE HABITS          

Colossians 3: 1-11
Devotional:-“and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” (v.10) NKJV


    One of the blessings God has created with us is the ability to form habits. This makes our future predictable, there are success habits and there are failure habits. When a man begins to form Christ-like habit, then he is growing to be a strong Christian.  Habits of Christ helps us to live like Jesus. It is the same with all other areas of our life. That is why it is said, your habit determines your destiny.

Habits are the routine exercise we undertake daily. We form habit when we undertake a particular practice repeatedly for 21 days. After which it becomes almost like a reflect actions for us. We can only be Christ like when we form the habit of Jesus into our character. You can now see the importance of habits to our Christian journey.

To form Christian habit, we must spend time daily to study and meditate on the character of Jesus (Joshua 1: 8). We must spend regular time in prayers daily (Matthew 14: 23). This is praying the life of Christ into your life. You need the habit of being submissive to your leaders (Hebrews 13: 17). You need the habit of taking faith (Ephesians 6: 16), you need the habit of speaking the truth of the word always (Ephesians 4: 15), you need the habit of forgiving others (Matthew 6: 14-15), habit of giving, fasting and prompt obedience to God. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to build Christ like habit.

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 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.
