LOVE SO MUCH

  LOVE SO MUCH John 3:9-21 Devotional:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (V. 16) NKJV   Men need to begin to wake up to the understanding of the great love God has for us. It has been the strategy of the enemy all the while to make us feel God did not love us. That is in our mind. The infomation available to us has made us feel God is that big and wicked boss of heaven and the earth that goes about looking for people He will condemn and kill. But this is not true of God. The Bible present God to us as a God of love. In the past, before I knew the Lord, anytime I read the scripture, God so loved… I ask myself, where is the love? It looks like an ordinary religious statement to entice and deceive the sons of men. Later, I became mature enough to know that the Bible is the book of the truth. It has neither exaggeration nor extravagant words. And it is nothing but the...

HIGH MINDEDNESS

HIGH MINDEDNESS

Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:11-19
Devotional:- “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy” (V. 17)

    Another enemy of a praiseful life is being high minded. To be high minded is to be proud, ambitious and dreaming above your capacity. Instead of some people willing to grow gradually, they will want to grow to the top one day. So, people’s definition of breakthrough is growing up in a day. A high-minded man cannot praise God. He will always see God “not good enough” No matter what God might have done for him; God will not deserve his praises.

The word of God says that people with high mind should be warned. Do not trust in money. Put your trust in God who is able to provide all things. What some are looking for will not let them be grateful to God. High mindedness will make a man proud. The word of God says pride goes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18). High minded people want to gather everything to themselves alone (Luke 12:15).

The word of God says we should be happy with what God has given us (1 Timothy 6:6-8). This does not mean that we should not desire more but believe in growing through process and gradual growth. High mindedness will make people carry spirit of heaviness. It will make man step on others to rise. If you humble yourself, God will lift you up (1 Peter 5:6). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be victim of pride.

“HIGH MIND WILL AT THE END COME DOWN”

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.
