GOOD SPOUSE

  GOOD SPOUSE 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Devotional:- “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband” (v.3) NKJV One of the greatest places where God expects love to be demonstrated is in the family, and most strongly between the husband and wife. It is a pity that this generation does not have many spouses enjoying true love in their relationships. Many have turned the home into a children-producing factory, and there is nothing strong that ties them together. And today, men can no longer understand the purpose of God for instituting marriage. The scripture we read today gives us some great instruction for our distinction in this world of destruction. God’s word says, "Each should render to one another due affection." Affection is love. God expects you to love each other (1 John 4:7). It is as you love each other that the atmosphere is created for God to mend and amend things in the house. Understand that the word 'love'...

ORIGINAL INTENTION

ORIGINAL INTENTION

Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional:- “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (V. 27) NKJV

    God expresses His intention for making man in His word. This intention is that man will have dominion over all He has made (Genesis 1:26). In His intention there is a need for man to be like God to be able to fulfil this intention. That is why God made man to be supreme to all other creation. Man needs to be higher in capacity to all other creation to be able to govern the earth. This is the reason man need to be like God.

The word of God says we are created In the image and likeness of God. This is how we are made. But sin reduces man to be less than his original creation (Romans 3:23). This likeness is in having the same spirit of God in us at creation (Genesis 2:7). This likeness is in character and attitude of God. This likeness is in being able to love in relationship.

Friend, Jesus came to restore this likeness to man that sin had stolen away. That is why everyone need to turn to God through the Lord Jesus. He is the image of God to us (Romans 8:29). We all need to give ourselves to learning from Christ through His word till we are conformed to His Image i.e. we become like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18), then you can truly take your place in destiny. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to submit myself to learning from you.

“UNTIL YOU ARE LIKE JESUS, YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR ORIGINAL STATE”

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.
