  THE MOST IMPORTANT THING 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 “Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love”. (V. 13) In belonging to God and his family the most important thing is love. Because God is love and the most important lesson He wants us to learn is how to love. It is in loving that we look like Him. Loving makes you obey all the laws of God (Gal. 5:14). God wants us to love everyone but particularly members of His family (1 Pet 2:17). A major reason God wants us to specially love members of His family is because He wants His family to be known for love more than any other thing (John 13:35). God want us to be in regular close fellowship with other believers because you cannot develop the skill of love in isolation. To learn to love you must be around imperfect, frustrating and people of different characters.  Love should be your richest priority in life. Love should always be your motive and your motivation in all you do (1 Corinthians ...

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

KEEPING YOUR GARMENT

Scripture Reading: Matthew 22:1-14
Devotional:- “So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless” (V12)

    It is important that you know that the righteousness of God given to us as a gift through Jesus must be kept clean to the end. Yes, this garment of righteousness is given to us through our faith in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8-9), yet, it is the responsibility of each of us to maintain it that we might reign with Christ when He returns (Rev.3:4, Rev. 19:8)

Though, the garment of the righteousness of God has been given to us at Salvation, yet, it can be lost (Romans 6:1). So you must keep it clean. To keep the righteousness, you must choose to keep obeying the word of God (Psalm 119:9). Daniel and his friend in Babylon decided not to defile themselves with the food dedicated to idols (Daniel 1:8). So, you and I must constantly make choices of obeying the word of God in this pervert world (Matthew 7:21-23).

Friend, our Salvation and righteousness is paid for, but it can be lost if not maintained with obedience to the word of God (Isaiah 1:20). It is obedience to God that grows the nature of God in us. Remember, whatever is not growing is dying. If you will keep growing the nature of God which is righteousness, you must deliberately choose to walk daily with God (Genesis 17:1). That is why no one can call himself a Christian before God if he is not studying the word of God. It is knowledge that empowers us to act in accordance to the word of God (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:9, 11; Proverbs 24:5) Give yourself to studying the word of God (Joshua 1:8). Create a heart of love for the word till it becomes your life style (Psalm 119:97). Then you will find grace to keep obeying the word (John 14:15). You will not lose your garment in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to love your word and be a doer of it

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.
