BEING HELP

  BEING HELP Romans 12:9-20 Devotional:- “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” (V. 13) NIV There is hardly anyone in the world who does not need help, except that they are not making any move to make something happen. So help is a need of people who are looking forward, people who have vision or people who are pursuing a life goal. If you consider yourself in need of help, then you are just one of the people on the path of success. This help could vary from the need for the right people’s assistance, counselling, or money and material. We need to understand with clarity that at any period in time, we will surely reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). And so we must keep sowing help into the life of others to reap help. The bible says, “Share with people who are in need“ Let us be careful not to be too need-conscious that you don’t remember to do good to others. There are people you are far better off. There are people around us who look at us as priv...

CARING

CARING

1 Peter 5:5-11
Devotional:-"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you". (V. 7)

    To love is to care. To care is not cheap. It is actually costly. Whatever it costs to to care is the prize of love. To care for someone is to be concerned about his/her life. Everyone have enough matter to concentrate on in their lives. But when you can go out of your way to care and show concern for others, that is love. It is when we can go out of our personal challenges and care for others that we are mature.

All through the ages we see how much God cares for us.  Right from the Garden of Eden to when He gave us Jesus (Genesis 3:21; 1 John 4:9). As sinful as man can be, yet, God has not abandoned us. Many times He will discipline the nation Israel for their wrong doings. And He will still go after them to comfort them (Isaiah 40:1).

This is truly a love lesson for us. We should care for people around us. This begins from our relationship to our spouses, children and parents. No one brings it from heaven. We all have to learn the act of caring for the body of Christ and for each other. Care starts from greetings, to concern about the affairs of others. Praying for each other and helping one another at our different levels. The self, the flesh or the human nature wants to care for himself alone. Let me satisfy my self first whatever may be happening to others is the language of carnality. We are truly mature when we are willing to care for others. You can never finish meeting your personal need. That is why the economist says human wants are unlimited. Don’t walk alone in life. You may not be able to go too far. Care for others as much as this does no harm to you. Always to remember to do this from a genuine heart and you will be like your fathering heaven. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a caring heart.

“A caring spirit is the Spirit of God”

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.
