  NATURE OF LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-8  Devotional:- "suffers long and is kind .. does not envy.. does not parade itself…” (V. 4). Since men do not have the actual understanding of love, they turn it into lust. And now it is lust most people call love. It is the reason for most frustration and discouragement today. The scripture we read today revealed to us the true nature of love. It reveals to us that no man’s service shall be acceptable or profitable until he puts in love (v. 1-3). The beautiful thing about the nature oflove is that it is the nature of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8). And if God dwells in us, love should also be demonstrated in us. The scripture says, love suffers long, that is why God loves to forgive his own people. Several times we have turned away from him, yet He does not turn away from us. He still looks for us. So also we should do for all we love. Love is kind, and that is why God has been kind to us. He doesn’t condemn us; He wants us to repent (E...

PASSION 

Romans 9:6-13
Devotional: "For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,” (V. 3)


    God has made each man and woman with a passion. Passion is the expression of our emotions. Our emotion is part of our soul that is created to help in carrying out or drive us into action till there is a result. When God want to use anyone to achieve a work, He will reveal the work to the ‘intellect’ of the person, the intellect will move it to the ‘will power’ which takes decision and this decisions are transmitted to the emotion who will help to drive it out with intense passion till there is a result of achievements. An example you can see is in Jeremiah 1:9-12.

In our Scripture of today, you will observe how Paul spoke of the nation of Israel so passionately. Ordinary desire is not expressed like that. Man of passion are die hearted. Your passion is a deposit of energy that cannot be exhausted.

Friend, God has given you that passion to work with. You must not sit down with a passion, else it will frustrate those who don't let it flow. It is like a fire in your bone, you better let it escape to the right place, or else it will consume you (Jeremiah 20:9). All you are doing now should reveal to all around you the beauty of the kingdom of God. It's time you translate that passion and energy to effect positive change in work, business and in the kingdom of God. Then, you are fulfilling your destiny. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to identify my passion and use it rightly 

“IF YOU DON'T LET GO YOUR PASSION, IT WILL SHORT YOU DOWN“

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.
