LOVING THE LORD  John 14:19-24 Devotional:- “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (V. 23) NKJV      It is important that we as believers truly love the Lord. It is only those who love the Lord that will enjoy the best of God. Do not be part of Christians who handle the things of God carelessly. No one can stay distant and enjoy the best of a relationship. Therefore, you must grow your love for God if you are His child.

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”.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
