DON'T HATE

  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

HOLINESS

HOLINESS 

1 Pet. 1:13-21 
Dev:- “but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct” (vs. 15 ) 


    If we want to make it to eternity with God it is expected of us to be holy. This is because heaven is a holy place and nothing unholy will ever enter the place (Ephesians 5:5). That is why each one who desires to make it to heaven must set themselves aside in holiness unto the Lord.

In our scriptures for today, the Bible tells us that holiness is the standard of God. That is, you need to know that we have been called to holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7). And if holiness is the standard of God anyone who want to live with God must be holy. 

To be holy is to live a life that works only in the will of God. This may not be achieved when we first give our lives to Christ but we are to grow into holiness. Each of us should grow to be perfect before the Lord (Matthew 5:48). This will happen as we keep a daily work with  the Lord, in meditating on his word day and night and keep his word in our heart (Psalm 119:9-11).  It is as we keep our fellowship with his holy people, the church that the grace for holiness will rest on us.  (1 Peter 2:9). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace for holiness.

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.
