  JOY OF PARENTS Proverbs 15:11-21 “A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother” (V.20). NKJV One of the things that brings perpetual joy and gladness to parents at their old age is the lives of their children. When a man sees his children living right, prospering and serving God, it brings great joy that no one can take away from him. Many parents are living in sadness because of the terrible lives the children are living, but the truth is that they never invested the “wisdom” of the word of God in these children when they were young. They left these children to live their lives the way they wanted, now the consequences are manifesting. Beloved, if you want to have joy in your old age, plant into your children now the word of God that can make them wise, and when they are wise and behave wisely, your joy will know no bounds. Prayer: Lord, help me to raise Godly children. “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TREASURES”

FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT

FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT

Galatians 5:16-26
Devotional:- "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness" (V. 22)

    The word of God says “God is love (1 John 4:7-8). For anyone to be able to live in true and genuine love he/she will need help of the Spirit of God. Though, we have to cultivate the attitude of love, yet we need the help of the Holy Spirit to love. Anyone can practice sexual love which is infatuation or friendly love or parent and children love. But it is not by human determination to practice God’s kind of love (Agape); (Sexual or relational love) is wired in us naturally. We just demonstrate in naturally. If two people of opposite are moving closely, they could implicate themselves. The instinct of love in us catalyzes the speed of such love. But the God’s kind of love is not natural.

We need the spirit of God to grow in it. There is a whole lot of differences between people living together as spouse and living in God’s kind of love. That is why most people in courtship will assume they are in love but when they get married they will then discover they have to grow their love.

It is the energy of a right Spirit that can set our heart to think rightly for a right living. Love is the number one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It means, it is the Holy Spirit that helps us to bear such fruits (Philippians 2:13). Ask Him in prayer to grow love in your spouse and relations. Be sure you are sharing the word of God among your people, and then it will be possible to live in love. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help my family to live in love

“Love is costlier than what a natural man can bear”

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.

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.
