LOVE  Luke 10:25-37 Devotional:- “So he answered and said, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself.'".” (v.27) NKJV   If you as a child of God, will keep having dominion in the midst of your enemies, then you need to embrace the wisdom of love. This does not look like wisdom, but it is in the way of the Lord. He said, “My ways are different from your ways, neither are your thoughts as my thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8). Even though the world today is becoming more hostile, the word of God teaches us to love. Wise people know that when you love others, you are simply helping yourself. It costs you so much to hate others, but you earn so much when you love.   Love is an act of showing affection and being affected by the lives of others. That is, you are happy with others when they succeed. Any time you see others in pain or sorrow, you are not always comf...

RESPECTING OTHERS

Ephesians 5:21-33
Devotional:- "Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."   (V.33)

    In any type of relationship, respect is reciprocal. If you don't respect people, they will not also respect you (1 Samuel 2:30). Being rude is a sign of immaturity. When you talk to anyone in a rude or without manner, you will receive the same thing back. These can even happen between parents and children. The word of God instructs parents not to talk to their children with resentment or anger (Ephesians 6:4).

The word of God specifically instructs us to respect each other in our relationship (1 Peter 3:7; Ephesians 5:33). To respect means to regard, to honour, to prefer each other than someone else. It means to esteem each other and not to put others down. As a woman or a staff, you need to refer some decisions to your husband or leader respectfully.

The word of God also instructs husbands or leaders to also relate with people under them with honour (1 Peter 3:7). In the family, each one must be given his/her own respect. This is the character of love. Familiarity or status does not canceled respect for each other. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to respect all around me.

“When there is no respect, there will be no respect”

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 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.
