PURPOSE OF LOVE

  PURPOSE OF LOVE Romans 5:6-11 Devotional:- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us..” (V. 8). NKJV Sometimes we make such a mistake as loving only our lovers. We do not often think that by this we fulfill the Law of Moses and not the law of grace, loving only those who love us and probably hating those who hate us. But this is not true love. If you understand the purpose of love, you will know that love is not needed when everyone is perfect, but most needed because we are not. The scripture we read today demonstrates one of the greatest acts of God’s love to us. And this is a revelation of God’s love to you. Even though you commit sin and He hates sin, yet He loves you. It is for your sake that He sent Jesus, His only son, to die on the cross. See, people may hate you for one reason or another, but God loves you. He so much believed in you that He had to give up His son to die for your sake (1 John 4:9-10). ...

WHY BEING LIKE CHRIST

Scripture: Luke 14:25-27
Devotional:- “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” (v.26) NKJV

    There is a strong need to know the reason we are to be like Jesus. When purpose is not known abuse is inevitable. Everyone we see in the world is either living to be like christ or like the world (John 17:16).

At creation God made us to be like Him (Genesis 1:27). His desire is that we are like Him in attitude and in character. This is because His attitude are wisdom. Attitude for our success in this world (Deuteronomy 4:6). God’s wisdom are prevailing wisdom. His wisdom is not the same to human wisdom (Isaiah 55:8). He wants us to be like Him because attitude make us win where there’s are defeated (Luke 16:10-12). His attitude makes us stand out as a light and example on our world (Matthew 5:16). His attitude make us to be put in charge and have dominion (Genesis 39:2-4). His attitude qualify us for more (Luke 16:11).

Friend becoming like christ is a major reason you are on earth. To be changed to the life style of heaven (Matthew 7:20-23). You as a child of God must therefore put in your strength by the help of the Holy Spirit to be like Jesus in love and obedience. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be like Jesus.

“if you are truly His son or daughter, you will be like Him”

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 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.
