  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18). Our friendship with God does not mean casual acquaintance but close and trusted relationships just like the best man in a wedding. In the palace the servant must keep their distance from the king but there are some people in circle of intimate and trusted friends with the king. They enjoy free an...

HONOUR

Mark 7:1-13
Devotional:- "He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me". (V. 6)

    In a genuine relationship, it will be very wrong to dishonor each other. This can go a long way to weaken our relationship. To dishonor someone is to humiliate the person or put him down as nobody. No matter how weak someone is, it will be out of place to dishonor one another.

God who is our perfect example of love, He said “we should not honour Him just by mouth but from the heart (Mark 7:6). This teaches us that honour is from the heart. That is why each of us should create a heart of value for everyone in relationship with us at whatever level or category. You are only willing to honour someone because you value him. Please, know that God deserve your honour (Malachi 1:6-9; 1 Samuel 2:30).

To treat someone with honour is to treat with care and accord him, his own respect no matter what. In giving honour, be faithful and loyal to others. Let people be what they are and not over expecting from people. Then you also will be honorable. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me a Heart of honour for everyone

ONLY HONOURABLE PEOPLE HONOUR OTHERS

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.
