SHARING YOUR FEELING

  SHARING YOUR FEELING Hebrews 4:11-16 Devotional:- “For we do not have an high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness… (V. 15)” It is not always very easy for people to understand us, especially when we pass through challenges and are weak. Even those who want to understand and sympathise could get to a level and turn back. Sometimes, instead of people sympathising with us, they constitute a panel of judges and begin to point accusing fingers at us.  As part of the act of love of Jesus, the scripture we read today says, He sympathises with us in our situation. In other words, He knows exactly what you are going through, both the one you can explain and the one you cannot. He could feel exactly the way you feel. The Bible says, He has suffered as we do. Even if you are struggling with a weakness or a sin, He has also been in the flesh. He knows how painful your feelings are. He cannot reject you, and He identifies with you and still loves you. That is why He made provi...

LOVE THE LORD

Matthew 22:34-40
Jesus said to him, ‘you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ (V. 37)

    A true believer loves the Lord. So many people come to church for many purposes, some for miracles, some for food, what to get, some to get a spouse, some in need of a job, some came to follow friend and many others. Only few people are in the church who loves the Lord. The reason people change church is because they can no more get what they are looking for.

To know whether you love God or not, ask why am I in this church? The moment there is a reason, then you do not love the Lord. The same with marriages. Yes some things might attract you but they are not enough to retain you. Those who love God follow Him because they love Him, because they love His presence, His word and His people. Love means you are willing to die for Him (John 3:16, Revelation 12:11). To love God mean He is your primary reason and all other things are secondary, so when they don’t come you don’t quit (John 21:17).

Friend, until you start to love the Lord, you are not yet a true believer. Love does not change hot or cold. True love are proved by situations. Take your decision to love God from now and all things shall be working for your good (Romans 8:28). Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, plant your love in my heart.

“If you love God you will be willing to obey him at all cost”.

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.
