KINDNESS

  KINDNESS Hebrews 13:1-9 Devotional:- “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels” (v.2) NKJV The season we are in is a season of strangers, and close friends will come to locate you. You will find many in need of your assistance. God’s words teach us to be of assistance to such people. Even though we live in a very dangerous and delicate world, where so many unbelievable atrocities have been committed. Yet it does not mean we should completely neglect the instruction of this part of the scripture. We only need to obey God with wisdom. We are not to turn people away sharply; we only need to learn to discern what kind of people are coming around us. We also need to be wise not to disclose or open our hidden places to strangers. But I need to let you know that God honour those who honour strangers. If you read the bible, you will discover God has a special interest in widows, orphans and strangers. So when you give attention to the...

A RELIGIOUS MIND

A RELIGIOUS MIND

John 8: 31-47
Devotional:-“They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, 'You will be made free'?" (v.33)


    Another type of mind people operates in especially in the church, is the religious mind. This is a mind programmed to hold on to the old truth and are not opened to the dynamic revelation of the word of God. Such mind is ready to fight in readiness to defend their old beliefs, that their fathers have handed over to them and they are not ready to receive a new revelation. Very good in quoting what God said, but not in what God is saying. 

The leaders of Israel at the time of Jesus were in this narrow minded situation. They held on so tightly to what Moses told them and they refused to accept and believe the gospel of Jesus. They saw all that Jesus was saying as blasphemy. As far as they are concerned God cannot send anyone apart from Moses. That way, they kill most of the prophet sent to them by God mercilessly just to defend their faith and thinking they were defending God.

Friend, if anyone around you have this mindset, you need to help them in prayer. They can't enjoy the help of the Holy Spirit and can't be used by God. They can pretend to be religious, but deny the power of the gospel (Col 2:20-23). Be careful of people like this, they can kill for God but can't allow God in their thinking. Such can only listen to the truth of the word of God during a trouble in life. As we pray for the salvation of the soul of such people, God can arrest them and save them. Peace 

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to refuse your light in my heart

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.

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.
