FILLING HIS MIND

  FILLING HIS MIND Psalms 8:1-9  Devotional:- “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? “ (V.4) NKJV When two people are at the peak of love, their entire minds will be full of one another. There is nothing else that will gain stronger attention at such a time. If you employ a man who is always thinking of his wife, may he work. He will always have his rapt attention for the woman. This is because love is one of the things that does not want shared attention in the mind of man. And as much as men may have their minds filled with the thought of their lovers, as much as they can be empty of it sometimes. But God is not a man who can sometimes forget His own beloved. The scripture we read today says, His mind is full of you. That is, He is always thinking of you. His entire attention is on you. That is why you need to look at your challenges. It can never swallow you. It is for the purpose of your glory (James 1:12). He is working out someth...

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”

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.
