NATURE OF LOVE

  NATURE OF LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-8  Devotional:- "suffers long and is kind .. does not envy.. does not parade itself…” (V. 4). Since men do not have the actual understanding of love, they turn it into lust. And now it is lust most people call love. It is the reason for most frustration and discouragement today. The scripture we read today revealed to us the true nature of love. It reveals to us that no man’s service shall be acceptable or profitable until he puts in love (v. 1-3). The beautiful thing about the nature oflove is that it is the nature of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8). And if God dwells in us, love should also be demonstrated in us. The scripture says, love suffers long, that is why God loves to forgive his own people. Several times we have turned away from him, yet He does not turn away from us. He still looks for us. So also we should do for all we love. Love is kind, and that is why God has been kind to us. He doesn’t condemn us; He wants us to repent (E...

RUNNING YOUR VISION

RUNNING YOUR VISION

1 Corinthians 9:16-24
Devotional:- "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it". (V. 24)

    It is important we know that only those who are pursuing God’s for their lives that will really succeed. Everyone one who wants to succeed have to consciously walk in to success. That is why we need to look into running the God given vision for our lives. If you have a God given vision and you don’t run it, the truth is that it can not run itself.

For you to run with the God’s giving vision for your life, you need to have a clear view of it. God told Habakkuk to make the vision plain i.e. write it clearly on paper. No one can be successful by running with a blunt vison. So, the vision must be specific.  That is, what exactly to run for? How to run with it? Where and when to run? You need to always be in fellowship with God for more and more clarity. The revelation of the will and the way of God will always make you strong enough to keep running. People need to know that the essence of fellowship with God is for their strength (Psalms 84:7, Isaiah 40:31).

Having understood exactly what God want you to do, there is a need to arise by faith and do it; no one will do that for you. All the provisions you need will only come as you keep running the vision. He that watches the cloud will not sow (Ecclesiastics 11:4). You must be committed to your vision and must give it your total attention. You must be consistent. You must be contented with your vision because it may not be what you really like to do but therein lies your future. So be happy running. You will get there in Jesus name. Peace.

Payer: Lord, give me the grace to keep running with your vision for my life.

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.
