  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...

HOPE 

Read: Romans 4:13-22 
Devotional:- “who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be” (V.18). 

    Today so many people have come to believe that having hope is actually wrong. They think life is better based on fate and not faith. Fate is whatever life can bring but faith is the assurance of what God can do. If you cannot be hopeful in God, then you cannot wait to see the great doing of God in your life. 

Friend, get to know that it is only a man of hope that can be a man of faith. God will not be able to do in you more than you can hope in Him. That is why you must work to see the revival of positive hope in your life which is your hope in God. 

In the scripture we read today, though Abraham had reasons to be hopeless yet he retained his hope in the sure word of God. Your hope will move God to action. Even though Abraham was old, he had experienced several years of childlessness. His wife had passed the stage of menopause, yet he knew that God’s word was too certain (Romans 4:19-22). 

Friend, if only you can change your mind and start to hope in God’s promises for your life against all odds, then God’s word will start to have His course in your life. Peace!!!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always see the hope in your word. 

“LIGHT AND HOPE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER, ONE ESTABLISHES THE OTHER”

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.
