  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

Psalms 65:1-8
Devotional Verse :- “Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple” (V. 4)

    As human, we don’t just go to other people’s house when we don’t know whether they will accept us in their house or not. We only do this under divine instruction or compulsion in our spirit. Fellowship only occurs when someone welcomes you to His fold and you can have time to interact as friends. This also goes with God.

There is a need for relationship permission before fellowship can be effected. The word of God says “Blessed is the man who God choose and cause to approach Him…” so, in fellowship with God we secure the permission of God to come into His realm. Fellowship with God is accessing the realm of God. The reason people are careful of who they welcome is because they could be influenced negatively. That is why the bible advices the righteous on choosing friends (Proverbs 12:26). But God has promised never to reject any human when we desire to come to Him (John 6:37).

Friend, fellowship is one great thing that you need to exploit to become your best in life. Unlike people who may reject your proposal to visit them, God is giving everyone including you reading this devotion an open invitation (Matthew 11:28). He wants to empower you through fellowship. He wants to influence you for positive character to succeed. He wants to show you the way to succeed (Psalms 25:14). This is because He sent you here on assignment to fulfill a destiny for Him. He wants to inspire you to operate above limitation (Job 32:8). This is not strictly by invitation. You have it now. Arise and come. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to miss out in your presence

“GOD’S INVITATION IS SPECIAL BUT OPEN TO ALL”

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 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.
