  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...

CONFIDENCE

Hebrews 10:32-39 NKJV
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. (V 35)

    Confidence is an attribute of every Victorious man. A confident man is a man that has the certainty of his ability to overcome. As much as some people can see confidence as a wrong way of living, yet no one has overcome without it.

The scripture we read today encouraged us not to throw away our confidence. The reward of a confident man is victory. You therefore need to build up your confidence in God.

Confidence is produced by the assurance of a promise of the truth. You are confident for sitting on a chair because you have the assurance that it has the strength to carry you. So also you need to build your confidence for victory and success in God. He is the rock of ages; this is possible by trusting in His word. God’s word says “we have also a more sure word of prophecy ... “(2 Peter 1:19).

This is the reason why David the man of war will not go to any war without a word from God. This is one of the secrets of his consistent victory. Whenever the word of God assures you of something you can place your confidence on it. God’s word cannot fail. You can always have total assurance of God’s word. It is dangerous to live without confidence. But then more dangerous to put your confidence in what is not certain but in the word of God.

Prayer: Lord, help me to build my confidence in you

“CONFIDENCE IS ONE OF THE UNCOMPROMISING SECRETS OF A VICTOR”.

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 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.
