  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

HELPING OTHERS TO GROW

Ephesians 5:25-33
Devotional:- "that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word". (V. 26)

    A major reason God brings people together, either in groups, fellowship, or marriage is that we might help each one to grow. So mature person don't put on the negative in relationship but help others to grow. A relationship where people are not growing, they will be groaning.

To help each other grows demand so much of maturity and patience. The word of God says “that we may be certified and cleansed”. This will demand understanding the weaknesses and strength of each one to know why people behave the way they do. If we keep getting angry at each other, we will not be able to help ourselves. If we try to avoid each other, we will only postponed the good. 

To help each other grow and be better, we need to understand that human being are spirit who lives in a body. So you need a word of the Spirit to get to their heart for a true change. That is why the Bible says”we can cleanse people by the washing of the water through the word. Please, create time of fellowship where the word of God can be shared. Pray before you share the word. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. You can hardly change any one (Zechariah 4:6; Hebrews 4:12). Shouting or fighting or being angry does not. The Holy Spirit can change anyone when we do our part to create the atmosphere of peace and love.

PRAYER: Lord, make me an instrument of change for others.

“IF PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE FOR BETTER AROUND YOU THEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE“

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.
