LOVE  Luke 10:25-37 Devotional:- “So he answered and said, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself.'".” (v.27) NKJV   If you as a child of God, will keep having dominion in the midst of your enemies, then you need to embrace the wisdom of love. This does not look like wisdom, but it is in the way of the Lord. He said, “My ways are different from your ways, neither are your thoughts as my thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8). Even though the world today is becoming more hostile, the word of God teaches us to love. Wise people know that when you love others, you are simply helping yourself. It costs you so much to hate others, but you earn so much when you love.   Love is an act of showing affection and being affected by the lives of others. That is, you are happy with others when they succeed. Any time you see others in pain or sorrow, you are not always comf...

BOTTLING OFFENCES

BOTTLING OFFENCES

Matthew 11:1-6
Devotional:- "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” (V. 6)

    What has caged the mind of many people from doing well which in turn has affected their lives is the act of bottling offences. Most people do not know that when you can't forgive people they are caging themselves. Unforgiveness is a sin more against oneself. Any time we remember people offend us we experience bitterness of mind and get wounded the more.

Funny enough, the person that offended us may not even sense he has offended anyone and is going about his life freely. But the offended is the one carrying about the sorrow.

John the Baptist was offended but did right to express it to Jesus. But some will not say it. They would rather suppress it and think they’ve forgiven. But you will know you’ve not forgiven when you see the person then you feel more pain. This will eventually lead to being wounded and neglected. Why not call the offender and let him know you are offended like John Baptist did and you will loose yourself from pain.

Prayer: Lord, help me to lose myself from bitterness of heart

“When you speak out, you will release yourself”.

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.
