  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...

BELIEVE THE WORD

BELIEVE THE WORD

Romans 10:14-21
Devotional:- So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (V. 17)

    The word of God says they just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). Faith is believing the word of God. You are not a Christian if you don’t live by faith in the word of God. There are two Kingdoms in this world. The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the devil. In the Kingdom of God where we belong as children of God, the word of God is our governing principle. The word of God is our constitution.

If anyone is not living by the word of God, he may not be a citizen of this Kingdom. To believe the word of God is to live by the word. The word believe is from two words be – live. It means you can only live in what you have been. So being precedes doing. Your life will always go the way you are. This is talking about the make-up of your mind. So to be a child of God, you have to be what the word says you are, then you will see yourself living like it. For you to be the word of God you have to accept it as written to you, it has to become the principle of your life (Psalms 119:55-56).

Friend, until you start to see the word of God as the principle of your life, you are yet to be a believer. It is when it becomes your principle that you live by the senses of the word, then you will doubt anything contrary to it and expect your situation according to be word (Luke 1:38). It’s a new day! Peace.

Prayer: Lord, make me be and live according to your word.

“What have been set in your mind is what will be your experience in life”.

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.
