  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...

FORCEFULLY

FORCEFULLY

Matthew 11:1-13 NKJV
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. (V 12)

    One powerful thing about the kingdom of God is that it is dynamic. This is because God has been doing great things in fulfilling His purpose. That is why we can see so many changes coming in to the kingdom of God, the church. The moment any group of people grow cold, the Holy Spirit raises another. This is to fulfil the word of Jesus that says the gate of hell shall not prevail against the church.

Because of the dynamism of the Holy Spirit, the devil too is really advancing to destroy lives. That is the reasons for so much coldness in the lives of some Christians. So many don’t want to be committed to God, many people want to keep the Church as a social gathering. They come late to the Church and leave early. The devil robs their mind with material things. They commit so much atrocity in the Church. Some keep coming but they never leave their wicked ways. The devil possesses some to cause disunity in the Church. All of this are tricks of the advancement of the kingdom of darkness (2 Timothy 3:1-7).

You therefore need to take your stand. The Church is not a place for show. It is a gathering at the feet of Jesus to learn, be strong, overcome and become citizens of heaven. Rise up from look warmness to the things of God. Walk in His will; obey His word.

Refuse to turn back from Jesus. Endure to the end. Force your way through God. It will never be easy but don’t give up because of situations. Then your life will begin to reflect God’s glory

Prayer: Lord, let the tough situation keep building me strong for my victory

“WHEN YOU REFUSE TO BOW FOR THE GOD OF SITUATIONS, IT WILL BOW TO YOUR GOD”.

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.
