  LIFTING Psalms 75:1-10 Devotional:- “But God is the judge. He putteth down one and setteth up another.” (V. 7) KJV It is part of God’s act of love to lift up his own people. If you have a privilege be in an office, there is every tendency that you will want use your office to help and lift the people you love, so also is God. He is highly exalted. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the creator of heaven and earth. The bible calls Him the judge, in other word, He rules and decides the case of everyone in heaven and earth. So he is willing to lift you up as the one He loves. In the sovereignty of God, I have seen God demonstrating His love by lifting the unworthy. People like Joseph, David, Solomon, Paul the apostle and a host of others. If you as a child of God enjoy a status now it is part of His good gesture to you. And whatever level you are now, do not be discouraged, for He is still taking you higher. He took Joseph from the prison to the palace (Genesis 41:...

DEEP FEELINGS

DEEP FEELINGS

Hebrews 4:11-16
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  (V. 15)

    The act of loving is often expressed in our feelings. In other word, when we are truly Loving, we have emotional feelings for the person we love. The feelings may not be the love but you cannot love without feelings. The feelings are the manifestation of love in us. To feel is not just to lust, but to empathize. To feel along in the same situation with the one we love.

The word of God referring to Jesus said “We have an high priest who have feelings for us in our weaknesses. He knows our weaknesses because He has been in the flesh like us in the past. Empathizing is a product of deep feeling toward someone in their situation. That is why Jesus can forgive our sins (Luke 23:34). Because He knows our limitations.

As believers, we must let the feelings of our love be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Not to lust, but to always be of help to each other. God's word says, because of the feelings of Jesus towards us, He is able to forgive and tolerate us. In these feelings of love you will want to sincerely consider others and not just condemn them. If you are considerate about your family, you will not be bitter against them. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always sympathize with people around me

“FEELINGS OF LOVE WILL ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO HELPING OTHERS“

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.
