LOVE CIRCLE

  LOVE CIRCLE John 15:5-12  Devotional:- “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (V.12) NKJV The love circle is not yet complete, except for the love we have for the people around us. There is a circle of love just like we have a carbon cycle in nature. Today, many consider the level of God's grace in dispensing to them to be too low. But little did we often consider one of the strongest principles of God that gave birth to the love circle. This is the law of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7). The love circle simply shows that God loves us so that we might love others. And as we show our love to others, God also love us more.  We all know that we live in a hostile world full of hatred and bitterness. Yet the bible did not leave us with an option of neglecting them but commanded us to love them. Loving others is in obedience to God’s commandment and not because they deserve it. We should also know that we do not deserve God’s love. You don’...

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“

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.
