  LEARN TO RELATE Romans 12:14-21  Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV. We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities. The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:...

Genesis 24:60-67
Devotional:- "Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death". (V. 67)

    A fundamental attitude of love is to welcome others. When I say welcoming, I mean accepting other and allowing others to share with us. Several times we will find ourselves among people that we do not anything in common with. One of the first principles of love is to welcome others.

It was a divine assignment for the servant of Abraham to locate a wife for Isaac. He trusted in God and he was successful to bring Rebecca to Isaac. Though meeting her for the first time, Isaac welcomed Rebecca. She was said to be beautiful but it does not mean she was an angel with a perfect body. Isaac threw away all the minuses and welcome Rebecca.

It's a sign of pride when we resent people. We have the right to chose whether to relate with the people or not. We have a right to determine the level we can allow people to go with us in relationship, yet, we are not to be irritated when meeting with people (Romans 5:8). Give people the benefit of doubt to prove their worth. Spouses, please accept yourself and not comparing your spouse to another (2 Corinthians 10:12). There is no greener grass at the other side of the fence. So, looking at other person as better than your spouse is a sign of weaknesses in you. Whatever you want in your spouse, God can help you to put them in place. Celebrate what God has given you and be happy. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, give me a true heart of love

“Every bad person needs a good person to make them good. Be the one”

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.
