SUBMIT TO HIM

  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word.

GOD WORKS

GOD WORKS 

Genesis 2:1-7
Devotional – “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done”. (V. 2)


    God the maker of the heavens and the earth is a God that work. We need to understand that God must not stop working. If He does, most of the system and structure that makes our earth to be, will simply stop. That will create total destruction on the earth and on the inhabitants of the earth. That is why the Bible says, He does not slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4). If God, our maker is working, then it will be a sin if we don’t work (2 Thessalonians 3:10). 

Work is the use of extracted energy to course a change in a thing, a place or a person. Our work as New Testament believers are works of faith. Work of faith is taking responsibility to obey God by faith. Since the beginning of time, we see God working (Genesis 1:1). God’s word begins with a work statement and end with the statement of work. (Genesis 1:1, Revelation 22:20-22).  We saw in the scripture today that God worked. You will hear the Bible saying, God made, plant or cause it to rain or formed. These are works. 

Friend, if God made us like Himself, then we are made to work (Genesis 2:15). That is why we must put in our best wherever we are, as citizen of the kingdom of God to make an impact or cause a change. No one will work and be turned to a beggar. It is your work that gives you a worth. It is working by faith that creates our miracles (Mark 16:17). Wake up.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to work with your instruction for my life by faith.

“IT IS YOUR WORK THAT DETERMINES YOUR WORTH”
