ALL WORKING TOGETHER

  ALL WORKING TOGETHER Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (v.28) NKJV Sometimes, because dates and times are rolling, we tend to start to think if the will of God will ever come to pass in our lives again. Some will ask, if God want to do it, why has He not done it all this while? This is a product of us waiting and expecting God to fulfil His promises in our lives within a time frame. And since time is going, we start to nurse some doubt about God’s ability and willingness to fulfil His promises in our lives. If you observe critically, most people come to that state simply because they compare their lives with others. But many of us often forget that God is taking us all the way through a different route to a different destination.  All that we need to do is to be sure that we discover and remain in the purpose of God for our lives. Others might look much ...

CULTIVATING LOVE

CULTIVATING LOVE

1 Timothy 4:12-16
Devotional:- "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all". (V. 15)

    Children of God need to know that attending church services or serving as a worker in the church alone does not make a Christian. True Christians are not Christians just because they go to church. True Christians are identified by the fruits they bear (Matthew 7:21-23). Love is one of the fruits of the spirit. It is important we know that trees don't just bear fruits, they have to cultivate them

That is why fruits of the spirit or attitude of the word of God that you don't cultivate may not naturally be manifesting in you. So we have to be deliberate in cultivate the fruits of love. To cultivate a fruit of character is by labouring in the word of God. We have to study the word of God about love until it form part of our thinking. God’s word is to be meditated on day and night (Joshua 1:8). We should give ourselves wholly to thinking the way of the love of Christ.

Whatever you keep meditating on, you will keep acting on. It is what you are driving into your heart through meditation that you will keep acting out. If you cannot meditate continually over anything, it cannot be part of your character (Romans 12:2 NLT). This way the love of Christ will be spread abroad in your heart by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Then you can keep demonstrating God's kind of love. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, let your love be planted in my heart

“If you cannot stop the thoughts, you cannot stop the acts”

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.

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).

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.
