  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...

ESTABLISHMENT

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 16:10-17
Devotional:- “It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness” (V.12)

    There is no one without a throne. A man's throne is the place where he exercises dominion. This could be in the family, office, places of trade or in the community. Whenever God has given you grace to be a leader, you need to know that your leadership can only be established in righteousness.

When a man stands in the position of authority, he is bound to have much opposition. If such is not therefore done by the support of God, such will soon be destroyed by the destroyer. That is why each one must seek to choose to lead in righteousness whenever God has given us grace. It is the only guarantee of a secured and established leadership.

Friend, what do you think will be the future of your leadership? If God is not part of a throne, such will soon fail. That is why you need to employ the righteousness of God by obeying the Lord in all your decisions. Fear the Lord as you exercise authority over others. Don't lead in wickedness. Be considerate over others. Not extorting others but leading to achieve the organizational goal. And your leadership shall be established. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always lead with your fear.

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 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.
