SERVE HIM

  SERVE HIM John 12:20-30  Devotional:- “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor” (V. 26) NKJV One of the demands of love is a sense of responsibility towards one another. A very sincere definition of love is responsibility. True love is known in willingness to serve each other. Your level of love for a man is determined by the level of commitment you have to his life and destiny. You cannot prove that you love someone without showing a strong level of responsibility to such. This means true love is embedded in serving one another. One of the strong teachings of Jesus to us, as His lover, is that we must be ready to lay down our lives in service to bless others, as He did for us. That is why He said, “He who loves his life shall lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life” (John 12:25). Unless we are willing to sow and be sown in service, we may not p...

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”

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.
