  NATURE OF LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-8  Devotional:- "suffers long and is kind .. does not envy.. does not parade itself…” (V. 4). Since men do not have the actual understanding of love, they turn it into lust. And now it is lust most people call love. It is the reason for most frustration and discouragement today. The scripture we read today revealed to us the true nature of love. It reveals to us that no man’s service shall be acceptable or profitable until he puts in love (v. 1-3). The beautiful thing about the nature oflove is that it is the nature of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8). And if God dwells in us, love should also be demonstrated in us. The scripture says, love suffers long, that is why God loves to forgive his own people. Several times we have turned away from him, yet He does not turn away from us. He still looks for us. So also we should do for all we love. Love is kind, and that is why God has been kind to us. He doesn’t condemn us; He wants us to repent (E...

TRAP OF SIN

TRAP OF SIN

Proverbs 9:2:13-18
Devotional:- “But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell” (v. 18) NKJV

    People held in the trap of sin always become prisoners of their own habit. When people think they’re enjoying the pleasure of sin, the devil encourages them to continue till it becomes their habits. Habits are formed when people are doing something repeatedly till it becomes an action they can no longer control or stop. When anyone have a sinful and destructive habit they are set for destruction (Roman 6:23). The devil set every aspect of their lives in trouble of self-destructive motion. So they work their own way to the grave.

Such people need the gospel, they need Jesus to save them and someone needs to share or preach the gospel to them to be saved. If they will turn to the Lord, He will deliver them from the spirit of the habits and sets them free to make a choice of righteousness. The word of God is spirit and life (John 6:63). When the world is shared with people, it sets free (John 8:32). Such need to know that Jesus shed his blood to pay for their freedom from their habit of sin.

Jesus shed his blood as the price of redemption from every slave market of sin (Revelations 5:9-10). If you can approach such person prayerfully the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts, open their eyes of understanding and they will be saved. There are many of such around you. Reach out to them with the gospel and eternity will reward you for this.

Prayer: Set the people around me free from slavery of sin

“IT IS REDEMPTION THAT TERMINATES SLAVERY”.

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.
