  WILLING SACRIFICES 1 Chronicles 29:1-9 Devotional:‐ “Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly” (v.9) NKJV Generations of men have always misunderstood giving. To them it looks like they are reducing when God is asking them to give. Also, most people have not come to the understanding that we are creatures made to find fulfilment only when we give. You need to observe that orange is a waste when no one suck it. Also, life will be a waste when it benefits no one. If you really want joy, one of the strongest sources is a sense of fulfilment (sense of success). And this can only come when you have joyfully given unto the Lord or others (2 Timothy 4:6). That is, when you have willingly flowed out to others. The people we read about today were challenged to give willingly to the work of the Lord. And this brought them great joy. See, the greatest moment of your life ...

LOVE FIRST

LOVE FIRST

Matthew 22:34-40
Devotional:- "This is the first and great commandment".  (V.38)

    Often time when we are deciding on what to do, we consider our benefits first. We quickly think in our heart what is in this for me? (1 Samuel 17:26). Thank God David was not asking this question for selfish reason. We therefore need to realize that the first to be considered is not yourself but love first.

Jesus said, love is the first in all God's commandment, so if you and I are considering our steps it should be love first. If we are considering our action, the first thing to consider is love. If we are reacting to any issue we should consider love first. If you are to step into any assignments, the first step is love.

To be able to live with love first principle, you must realize it is talking about God first (Matthew 6:33; John 21:15). This is because God is love (1 John 4:7-8). You need to realize that we are commanded to put love first because it is the first commandment. God made it to be the first commandment so that we will consider love first in all situations. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always choose love first in all things 

“When love is first, God is first”

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.
