  THE MOST IMPORTANT THING 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 “Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love”. (V. 13) In belonging to God and his family the most important thing is love. Because God is love and the most important lesson He wants us to learn is how to love. It is in loving that we look like Him. Loving makes you obey all the laws of God (Gal. 5:14). God wants us to love everyone but particularly members of His family (1 Pet 2:17). A major reason God wants us to specially love members of His family is because He wants His family to be known for love more than any other thing (John 13:35). God want us to be in regular close fellowship with other believers because you cannot develop the skill of love in isolation. To learn to love you must be around imperfect, frustrating and people of different characters.  Love should be your richest priority in life. Love should always be your motive and your motivation in all you do (1 Corinthians ...

RESISTING

1 Peter 5:5-11
Dev:- “Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world” (V. 9)


    Every action will always command reaction. That is why a child of God is known by his ability to stand and resist the activities of the devil around his life. That you have a reaction is normal but to submit to reactions is a sign of weaknesses. No one has the right to stop the will of God in your life.

 The scripture we read today says, we must be sober and be vigilant. In other word, we must be humble enough to admit the need for battle in our life and we must learn to live ready. The word of God instructed us to resist the devil steadfastly. Which means don’t take it easy with the devil. We are to resist the devil when we have ungodly or unbiblical information coming to us (Matthew 16:23). This could be either inform of ungodly sensational feelings or confusing information contrary to the word of God (Luke 4:8). 

For us to be able to resist the devil we must do it in the faith we have in the word of God. Resisting the devil involves been vigilance. It involve declaring the word of God (Luke 4:4). Wisdom will rather prevent a problem than curing it. So the moment you sense any activities of the devil, stand against it by the word of God and by the Holy Spirit in you (Isaiah 59:19). Surely you are on the winning side (1 John 5:4). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me for victory always

“WHATEVER YOU DON’T RESIST, YOU’VE RECEIVED”

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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.
