  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...

TESTING THE SPIRIT

Scripture Reading 1 John 4:1-6
Devotional:- “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (V. 1) NKJV

    Every time you are seeking to connect with the Holy Spirit for an inspiration, there will always be a direction. When this happens, don’t jump out yet, but test the spirit to be sure it is from God. If the Holy Spirit could speak through Peter and almost immediately another spirit used him, then all of us have to be careful (Matthew 16:15-23).

The word of God told us that the Holy Spirit will bear witness with our Spirit (Romans 8:16). So, it is not out of place that you are checking out by testing the spirit directing you.

To test the spirit, ask for a scriptural backing for the instruction. This is because God will not speak contrary to His word. To test the spirit, check whether you have peace or trouble in your spirit. God will always speak peaceably to you. In other words, His word will give you peace in your spirit man (Psalms 85:8). This is because the word released will agree with the Spirit of God in you. To test the spirit, you can let God sometimes confirm through others (2 Corinthians 13:1). This isimportant so that we can always be sure if it is an inspiration from God. Then, our testimonies will be sure. Peace. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always discern your spirit

“ONLY INSPIRATION FROM GOD IS GUARANTEED”

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.
