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...

BE AT PEACE

Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
Devotional:- “And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.” (V. 13) NKJV


    As vessels of God, we must learn to be at peace with people around us and the people that we serve together. In relationship, it is normal for us to offend each other. As close as the tongue and the teeth, yet, they fight once a while. It may not be easy for us not to offend each other as we serve together, but Jesus taught us to forgive each other.

To be at peace among ourselves demand that each one must be at peace with God. It demands that each is at peace with self. It is then; we can endure to be at peace with others. Remember, the closer we are, the more we see the fault of each other. If you serve at distance, you may enjoy distance holiness. That is why the Bible teaches us to be at peace with each other. Both with our leaders and with people we work with.

Don’t forget we are different in nature and God made us so.  Don’t expect everyone to be like you or view things like you. Create service principles in your unit and consider everyone. Remember, Jesus is the Lord of us all and He is our rewarder. Let us not over expect from each other. Consider the fact that we are not at the same level of maturity. Relationship demand living with understanding. The God of peace will give us peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live peaceably with all.

“IT IS PEACE WITHIN THAT MAKES US PEACE WITH OTHERS”

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.
