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'...

RELATIONSHIP

Scripture: 1 John 3:10-20

Devotional:- “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death” (v.14) NKJV

    A major area that a child of God should grow and be mature in is the ability to handle relationship with other people. Our ability to relate maturely with others goes a long way to determine how much we are growing like Christ. The Bible says “Jesus was growing in favour with God and man” ( Luke 2:52). This is maturity in relationship.

Growing in our ability to relate is a product of our growing the character of Christ and practice relationship  with other believers. We cannot stay alone and grow in relationship. This is a major benefit of fellowshipping with children of God. If anyone is excusing him/herself from fellowshipping with other believer, he/she will not grow in relationship.

 It demands growth in character and attitude of Christ. Tolerance, endurance, patience with others and understanding. It demands our ability to forgive when people offends us. As we grow in relationship, it get to a level that people can no longer offend us. When Jesus was been crucified, He was asking for forgiveness for the people murdering Him. This is a very high level of maturity. This way, you will enjoy your everyday life with people. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to relate with all men

“Maturity in relationship makes you have peace with all”.

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.
