PEACE IN YOUR LAND

PEACE IN YOUR LAND Leviticus 26:1-8 Devotional:-“I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land. (V. 6) NKJV      Every covenant promise of God is powerful enough to find expression in the life of those who believe. Today, we live in a world where peace is no longer a common thing in many parts of the world. Where there is a different style of robbery and affliction upon the children of men. It is becoming vivid that money may not be security in the days of trouble. Yet God had promised His own children peace (Numbers 29:11-13).

LONG SUFFERING

LONG SUFFERING

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional:- "with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love". (V. 2)

    As the world is deteriorating in value the virtue of long suffering is fast escaping. The way God designs love, you cannot truly love without long suffering. True love cannot be temporary. True love cannot be only when it is well. True love cannot be existing sometimes and stop at another time. True love is actually known in the time of trouble (Romans 5:6).

Love is not made for when it is sweet alone. True love stays when it is dark. True love does not back out. God's word instructs us to bear with one another with long suffering. That is why long suffering is part of the lifestyle of God because God is love (Exodus 34:6; Ephesians 4:2)

For anyone to exercise long suffering, he/she must understand that loving is a lifetime venture and it does not expire. We also need to know that love is with hope, this is hoping that all shall turn for good (Romans 8:28). To love with long suffering demands that we live a sacrificial life and willing to stay to see the good end (Habakkuk 2:3). Human view or human comments cannot be considered in long suffering. This is because there is no room for selfish motive in true love (1 John 4:18). Make up your mind to live in love and your life and relationship will be peaceful.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a selfless life to be able to love.

“Only those who can endure can enjoy in love”

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.

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.
