DON'T HATE

  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

THE LORD 

1 Peter 3:1-6
Dev: “as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.”  (vs. 6)

     Most believers are not truly aware that they have not consider the implication of having a Lord. So many people think Jesus is their Lord and it is not so. They think Jesus is their Lord because they attend a church or because they bear Christian names or because they are born into a Christian family or because they have church titles. But none of these make people to have Jesus as their Lord. Some think because they confess Jesus as their Lord when they first believe or because they always sing it as songs. But none of these are true. That is why Jesus said it's not all who call or see me as their Lord that will inherit my father’s kingdom (Matt 7:21-23) 

For Jesus to be your Lord you must consciously make this decision from the heart (Rom 10:8-10). This is because a lord is someone that has total control over every aspect of your life. A Lord is someone you must not disobey. He approves and disapproves all your decisions (Proverbs 3:5-6) A lord is someone you have sold yourself to as a slave and you have made him your master, and you are to always submitting to him (Matthew 10:25, Luke 5:5, John 13:16)

     It is important you ask yourself if Jesus is your Lord. If Jesus is not a lord over a soul then that person has another lord it is the devil (John 8:44). There are only two lords, Jesus and the devil. Friend it's time to make up your mind who will be the Lord of your soul (Rom 6:16) Just like Sarah chose Abraham as her lord, chose Jesus as your Lord. Peace.

Prayer: Lord help me to truly choose you as my Lord.

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.
