  LOVE OF GOD I John 4:7-19 Devotional:- “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” (V. 7) NIV You can hardly separate these two virtues; they are love and joy. They work together as twin brothers. You cannot love and not be joyful. In this season of joy, one of the things you must give room to for your joy to come is love. If you were not billing to love, you may not see joy. They have the same source; they both come from God (Psalm 16:11, 1 John 4:8) The scripture we read today said, Love comes from God and love is God. This means God cannot be in you and you can still hate. If you do, it is a sign that you are not born of God. You cannot be stealing and cheating, and you say you are a child of God. The bible teaches us how to truly demonstrate love. This is by following the example of God. He demonstrated His own love by giving us His most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Love and giving have the same mea...

GREAT REWARD

Daniel 12:1-10
Devotional – Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever (v. 3) NKJV

    Often time people think anytime we are given an instruction from the word of God it must be for the benefit of the Church or the Christian religion. It is important you stop thinking Christianity is a religion. What confuses people are not always lies but half truth. Half truth is still not the truth. The truth is that God is not into religion and Christianity is not a religion. It is a life of relationship with God. God always look out for relationship with man (Genesis 3:8; John 4:23). That is what He made us for. He wants to live with man forever (Revelation 21:3).

In His eternal plan, He desires that every man who will live eternally with Him should be like Him in character, attitude and beauty (Genesis 1:26). When He send us to win souls, He intend that we recognise we are His ambassador to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). He expect that we do this deliberately. He expect that we live in righteousness to give quality representation to His kingdom before whoever we are meeting. That way we also deliberately walk in righteousness.

This qualify us for His blessing of righteousness here on earth (Psalm 5:12). That is why the Bible says our feet shall be beautified as soul winners (Romans 10:15). This qualifies us for His eternal righteous heaven (Daniel 12:3). The word of God  says those who turn many to righteousness will shine as stars of heaven. 

Friend, these are great rewards waiting for soul winners. Be deliberate about it. Go out daily trusting God to positively influence someone for Christ and His kingdom. Not until you preach the Bible but this is by your Character and your Conversations with people (Colossians 4:6). Our character and conversation speaks volumes about who we are. Surely your reward will come in Jesus name

Prayer: Lord, help me to be deliberate in influencing others for your kingdom

“YOU ARE EITHER AN INFLUENCE POSITIVELY OR BEEN INFLUENCED NEGATIVELY”

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.
