  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

YOUR STRENGTH

Scripture Reading: Daniel 11:29-39
Devotional:- “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V. 32) NKJV

Every child of God needs to know that their covenant walk with God determines their strength with God. We are strong spiritually because God is behind us (Romans 8:31). None of us can stand the resistance of life without Him (John 15:5) This is the reason some people in the church cannot overcome the forces against them, because God is a God of covenant.

When a child of God is not walking in the covenant of God, he/she gives room for the enemy to have his way over their lives and destiny. Behold, our strength in God is in our faith in the word of God (1 John 5:4). We cannot therefore be disobedience to the word that is our strength and expect victory (Romans 6:1). It is as we walk in the will of God that the presence of God will be with us. Samson thought he was in control of the anointing. But it was too late for him to realize that it is controlled by God (Judges 16:20).

Friend, your strength is in the presence of God with you (Romans 8:31). There are forces of God at work with you and that is why you are protected. If you stop obeying God, they will depart (Romans 6:1; Psalms 34:7). Whenever you call the name of Jesus, you are calling their Commander in Chief (Psalms 24:10; Ephesians 1:19-23). Therefore, you cannot be against the Commander and the battalion will answer you. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to walk in what will take your strength away from me.

“YOU ARE ONLY STRONG WHEN YOU WHEN YOU ARE OBEYING THE COMMANDER”

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.
