ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE

  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...

SANCTIFICATION

 SANCTIFICATION 

Scripture Reading: John 17:13-19
Devotional:- “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth” (V. 19

    To be sanctified is to be set apart as holy unto the Lord. If any child of God shall remain in the righteousness of Christ, he must be sanctified unto the Lord. This is an act of seeing self as separated and different from the commons to the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

To be sanctified is not to start to live an isolated life but to see ourselves different from the worldly (John 15:19; John 17:15-16). We are different because the Spirit in us is different to the one in the world (1 John 3:8-9; Romans 8:9). So, we are able by the help of the Holy Spirit to bear the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

To be sanctified is possible when a child of God is studying and meditating on the word of God regularly (Psalm119:9). It is as we purge our mind by the word of God (Ephesians 5:26) and our mind stored the word that our thought and talk become different by the word of God (John 17:17-19). If anyone call him/herself a child of God and does not study the word of God, he cannot have the behaviour of God. He will compromise at the face of persecution. Only those who are sanctified unto God are children of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be sanctified unto you.

“IT IS SANCTIFICATION THAT HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE CLOTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”

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.
