LOVE SO MUCH

  LOVE SO MUCH John 3:9-21 Devotional:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (V. 16) NKJV   Men need to begin to wake up to the understanding of the great love God has for us. It has been the strategy of the enemy all the while to make us feel God did not love us. That is in our mind. The infomation available to us has made us feel God is that big and wicked boss of heaven and the earth that goes about looking for people He will condemn and kill. But this is not true of God. The Bible present God to us as a God of love. In the past, before I knew the Lord, anytime I read the scripture, God so loved… I ask myself, where is the love? It looks like an ordinary religious statement to entice and deceive the sons of men. Later, I became mature enough to know that the Bible is the book of the truth. It has neither exaggeration nor extravagant words. And it is nothing but the...

ABLE TO TEACH

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 3:1-7
Devotional:- “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;” (V. 2) 


    It takes teaching to educate. The challenge in our world today is many people living without impacting others meaningfully. To teach is to affect others. It is to be a good example that others can learn from. It is to impact into others virtues of wisdom for their rising. It is to make others better. 

The word of God says; vessels of honour must be able to teach. To be able to teach is to be patience to communicate rightly to people till they are able to learn. In our word today, most people expect others to learn without been taught. This seems to be our definition of maturity. But this has made many to be pretenders. In other word, everyone is pretending to know. That is why, if you employ some people, you will be highly disappointed in the way of their ignorance. To make it worst, some church members have become leaders because of their long time in church, but baby in things of faith.

To be able to teach, you must be a student also. Humble yourself to locate where to learn. It is wrong to assume knowledge. The word of God teaches us to establish the truth. We are to buy wisdom. We need to go to the wisdom market, pick books and attend seminars or a school of learning. That is when you can impact on others what you have learnt. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a learning spirit.

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.
