  BEAUTY OF LOVE Psalms 133:1-3  Devotional:- “How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when bro thers live in harmony!” (v. 1) TLB Some people in society today have made up their minds never to love anyone again. This is a product of their experience of disappointment and frustration with men. But no matter our experience with people, we cannot give up love except that we give up living. Though some live without loving, they can’t know the best of life. The scripture we read today expresses to us the beauty of unity and love. It is expressed as good and pleasant. There is nothing to compare with the beauty of love. The bible describes love as precious oil, and this is because love is the oil that lubricates our mind and body. Where there is love, there will be health, and men will be polite. It is the ointment that makes the wounds of life bearable. Love is the cord of unity, and in unity men can achieve anything (Genesis 11:6) NIV. It is the strength of every relationship. No rela...

STRONG IN THE SPIRIT   

Luke 1:67-80
Devotional:-“So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel” (v.80) NKJV


  We are growing when we are gaining strength. This is when we develop the ability to handle what we are not able to handle before. As citizens of the kingdom of God, we are instructed to be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6: 10-12). This is because there are things to be contended for and there are forces to be contended with. (Ephesians 6: 12, 1 Peter 5:8-9).

 Physical strength comes by eating and exercising. So also, is spiritual strength. God’s word says, John the Baptist was growing strong in the spirit. To be strong in the spirit, we must learn to eat the food of the spirit which is the word of God (Luke 4:4). To eat the food of this world, we chew and swallow them into our stomach for digestion, so also to eat the food of the spirit, we must chew by meditating over the word till it enters our heart and we digest it into our body.

    If anyone is weak spiritually, the devil will outsmart his life with troubles and he will be a victim (Proverbs 24:10). That is why you and I must put in our best to be strong in the spirit, so that we have the ability in the Holy Spirit to overcome all the schemes of the devil. You are winning. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for your word.

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.
