CHOICE OF JOY Acts 16:20-30 Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” (V.25) NKJV So many people in this world have not woken up to the fact that the way they live is their choice. One of the greatest errors is to think that the situation a man finds himself, is the determining factor of his life. This is not true. Please come to an awareness of this truth from now on: that you are living as you have chosen to live. Get to know that you are a creature of choice. Whatever your choice is, that is your lot. God chooses no evil for anyone in life (Jeremiah 29:11). Whether you are happy or not, whether you are rich or not, whether you are healthy or not, it is your choice; if you decide otherwise from now and stand by your decision, things will change for you. Paul and Silas were in prison because of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they had the right understanding that their circumstances should not determi...

LOVING THE LORD

LOVING THE LORD

Matthew 22:34-40
Devotional “Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'”  v37


    The single attitude of loving the Lord makes a great difference in the life of every citizen of the kingdom. It is also important you know that loving the Lord is a choice. You need to observe that it is not every one that follows the Lord that loves the Lord. That is why you should not just make anyone in church your Christian model.  For those who choose to love Him with all their heart (passion); with all your soul (being); and with your mind (in your thinking) (Deut. 6:15). These means with all our beings and with all in us.

Friend, if you don’t consciously choose to love the Lord, you may not really love Hm. This is not for what to get, but what to give to proof your love. Jesus says, if we love Him, we will obey His commandment (John 14:15). You cannot say you love God and hate your fellow brother (Matthew 22:37-39). If you know God, you will love God because He is everything you need (1 John 4:7-8). If we love God, then we will create time out of no time to serve the Lord.  To always be in the presence of God will be a delight, if you love the Lord. Our giving should be because we love the Lord and our reward will be certain. Peace

Prayer: Lord, help me to choose to love you always.

“YOU CAN’T LOVE THE LORD AND KEEP DISOBEYING HIM”

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.
