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...

PRESERVED SEED

PRESERVED SEED

Scripture Reading: Malachi 2:1-7
Devotional:- “If you will not hear, And if you will not take it to heart, To give glory to My name," Says the Lord of hosts, "I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, Because you do not take it to heart” (V. 2)

    The seed of a man or a woman contain the power of the future. A single seed could contain a tree. The trouble in the life of most people is the problem of the corruption of their seed. The devil having known the power of seed to the future and destiny of a man, seeks to always destroy the seed. A man’s labour is his seed for wages. A student time of study is the seed for success in the examination hall. Just like the capital invested plus wise labour are seed for the profit of a business man. Children are also seed for the future of a family.

The word of God says, when people are not praiseful, they allow their blessings to be cursed. When any blessing is cursed, the blessing will definitely turn to a curse. We saw in the scripture that what makes a man's blessing to be cursed is lack of praises. When the presence of God is not with a man at the time of sowing, the seed will be cursed and the harvest will be meaningless.

 Friend, if you want your blessings to be preserved for future bountiful harvest, then, you need to take it to heart to live a praiseful life - a life that is always thankful to God. Time of labour is not always pleasant but a wise man will sow with joy (2 Corinthians 9:7). This is the way to please God in our labour and our future harvest can be guarantee. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, nothing will tamper with my seed of joy in Jesus name.

“PRESERVED SEED IS THE GUARANTEE OF A GREAT HARVEST”

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.
