  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

PERSISTENT 

Read: Hebrews 6:9-18 
Devotional:- “That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promise” (V.12) 


    Faith is persistence. When people embark on a race and soon give up that is the extent that their faith can carry them. In God you cannot do without faith. Your destiny must not be thrown into a trash can. That is why you cannot afford to just give up this race of life. You must win. Sometimes God is not moved by how long but how firm you have decided to stand to the end. 

Just as we read about Abraham, God’s word refers to him as a man who through faith and patience inherited the promise. Though it was taking time but he did not allow the situation to affect his faith. He knew that in a twinkling of an eye, God is able to fulfill His promises. He also knew God was only testing his ability to persist (Deuteronomy 8:2, 3, 13). 

Decide to provoke God’s hand by your persistence. Make your conclusion based on the faithfulness of God. Staggered not (Romans 4:20). Patiently wait and your case will become a miracle. Men shall share your testimony everywhere and every one that hears it shall laugh with you (Genesis 21:6). Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to keep my faith to the end. 

“IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO CAN PERSIST THAT WILL PREVAIL”

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.
