  KINDNESS Hebrews 13:1-9 Devotional:- “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels” (v.2) NKJV The season we are in is a season of strangers, and close friends will come to locate you. You will find many in need of your assistance. God’s words teach us to be of assistance to such people. Even though we live in a very dangerous and delicate world, where so many unbelievable atrocities have been committed. Yet it does not mean we should completely neglect the instruction of this part of the scripture. We only need to obey God with wisdom. We are not to turn people away sharply; we only need to learn to discern what kind of people are coming around us. We also need to be wise not to disclose or open our hidden places to strangers. But I need to let you know that God honour those who honour strangers. If you read the bible, you will discover God has a special interest in widows, orphans and strangers. So when you give attention to the...

LOVING GOD

Scripture: Matthew 22:34-40

Devotional:- "Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' (v.37) NKJV

    True disciples of Christ must live in true and total love for God and for His fellow brethren. Since Jesus is love personified, our lives should also reflect the image of the son of God. It was love that brought Him to this world. It was love that took him to the cross. It was love that made Him to die in order to redeem us.

Love produces care and kindness, but much more love makes us to obey the Lord. So the true evidence of love is submission and obedience (John 14:23-24). In the scripture we read today, Jesus thought us to love God with all our heart which means, we are to love God passionately. We are to love God with all our soul which means to allow Him to direct our total being. We are to love God with all our mind which means we allow our thinking to agree with that of Jesus (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourself. Do you observe that you love yourself sincerely and responsively. The same we should do to others (Ephesians 5:29). That is why no true disciple of Jesus can hate anyone. When you start to walk in love towards God and man, then you will be like Christ. Peace

Prayer: Lord, plant the Spirit of love in me

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
