PRETENDING

  PRETENDING Proverbs 13:1-10 Devotional:- “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches” (v.7) NKJV One other instrument of the devil to steal people’s joy is to fill their hearts with pretence. To pretend is to behave or talk like, or put yourself in a status, that you are not. It is to use what you don’t have to impress people who do not like you. It is to give people a false impression about you. This always results in a show of shame and sorrow. In the scripture we read today, there is the picture of a poor man who pretended to be rich. Who is he deceiving? Today you will see some people borrowing to spray at a party. Some will arrive at a beer parlour and ask everybody to be served, while at home, there is no food, and children's school fees are yet to be paid. Some are known to be very good outside to their secretaries, receptionists and the like, while at home they don’t have any credibility (Proverbs 12:9, Job 2...

KINDNESS

KINDNESS

Romans 12:9-14
Devotional:- "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another". (V. 10) 

    The act of kindness is a singular character that demonstrates true love. To be kind is to be willing to demonstrate mercy and good gesture towards others. Not that they deserve it but it's your act of kindness. It is to be friendly, considerate and generous towards others. It is to live to share with others in their time of need.

Sometimes, people will want to take advantage of our kind gesture. When we noticed such, we often want to withdraw from being kind. That is why it is important we know that kindness, for us is a commandment. The word of God says “we should be kindly affectionate to one another”.

To live with the character of kindness, you need to identify your strength. That is, what God has blessed you with, You also need to identify who is in need of what you have . Then organize to meet such needs. Every one may not need what you have. We get discouraged when people don't appreciate what we are giving. It means you need to identify those you are sent to bless. And your life will be fulfilled. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, make me a blessing of love

"Kind affection is a seed for kindness”
