  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

LOVE PERSONIFY

LOVE PERSONIFY

1 John 4:7-11
Devotional:- "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love". (V. 8)

     A major attitude that all children of God must grow into is the character of love.  If we are going to grow any character or habit, we must identify the source and the spirit of such (1 John 4:1). To love is natural in man because we are made like God. It is therefore the spirit we are connected to that will determine the composition and the nature of our love life.

The word of God says God is love personified. That means His nature and life is love. That is why He can be God. He endures and tolerates us. He cares and nurtures us. He gives us all things in abundance. For anyone to be able to cultivate the character of love, he/she must walk with the God of love. Every other spirit will lure us into selfishness but God is love.

Friend, stop following God without focus. If you are truly following Him, you can not live in hatred. It is therefore very important that we sincerely follow Him, allow Him to teach us the character of love. This is by willing, learning and following His ways. Love is developed as we hang around His presence (Proverbs 13:20). Then you will live in true love- Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me the way of love

“He that is not walking in love is walking in death”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

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.
