PURSUE PEACE Hebrews 12:12-17 Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (v.14) NKJV Some people don’t know that a peaceful relationship is in their best interest. They do not know that it is ignorance to be wicked and be in conflict with others. Little do most people know that a peaceful relationship is basically good for their health and well-being. That is why a peaceful man will live long in health. God’s word teaches us today to strive to attain peace in all our relationships with others. The Bible doesn’t say we should try to do that, but it says we should strive. This is because it may not be easy. Man, as a social and emotional being, cannot help but relate with others. We often finds constraints in doing so because of our differences, which can lead us to offend one another; we often find it tough with some people. Notwithstanding that, the Bible commands us to pursue peace with everyone so that we don’t block our access ...

LOVE THE LORD

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”.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
