  POWER OF LOVE I Samuel 18:1-5. Devotional:- "Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.” (V.1) NKJV Where true love exists, men can always have the best of times. Love is the most needed factor in this frustrating world. It is only as we build our environment of love that our lives will gain meaning. There is a strong need for us to learn what love can do. In the scripture we read today, David, a young man but strong by the strength of the Lord, was able to kill Goliath the Philistine (I Samuel ( 17:44-51). As soon as this happened, the bible says the heart of Jonathan and David was knit together. That is, they greatly love one another. Even though they were not from the same tribe, love is able to bring two people of different backgrounds and tribes together. And because of the love Jonathan had for David, he had to protect David from the trap of his father several times. A true ...

SANCTIFICATION

SANCTIFICATION 

2 Corinthians 6:11-18
Dev. “Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you."” (V. 17)

The act of sanctification is what each believer must seriously consider. Until a man is sanctify unto the Lord, he cannot belong to God. He cannot always obey the Lord. Such will always do whatever he/she likes, since it is their life. 

The word sanctification means a conscious separation of one’s entire life unto God (Jeremiah 1:5). This is not a child's play but a conscious decision to separate one's life to Christ. To be sanctified unto the Lord is to submit your spirit, soul and body unto God. It is to willingly make Jesus your Lord and the controller of your life (Romans 12:1). 

Doing this demand total consciousness. Just like it is a conscious thing for a woman to be married to a man and this consciousness is reflecting through her life, so also a sanctified believer (Isaiah 54:5). That is how you will be able to go everywhere with the consciousness of your sanctification. By this you can no longer disobey your Lord (Matthew 7:21-23). You can no longer live as you like or do what the world is doing. Your culture become the culture of the Lord. If Jesus is your Lord your personal desires will always be put aside to obey the Lord (Matthew 26:39). If you are not always conscious of your sanctification vow, then you are not separate into Him and for Him. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, sanctify me by your word and accept me as a kingdom citizen for ever.

“IF YOU HAVE NOT CONSCIOUSLY SEPARATE YOURSELF THEN YOU ARE NOT”

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.
