  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”
