DON'T HATE

  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...

LION'S LIKE

LION'S LIKE

Proverbs 28:1-7 NKJV
The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. (V 1)

    Lions are animals of a unique strength which has boldness inherent in their systems. They are animals that are well respected and feared by both men and other animals.

God created them with full dynamics. The Bible even says it does not have fear for or turns away from anyone even if you are shooting it. (Proverbs 30:30). It is a very brave animal. You will agree with me that we need this virtue to overcome in any battle. That is why the Bible refers to us as sons of God. And we are sons of God as Jesus comes into our lives. And the Bible says that Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. So, you belong to that lineage as soon as Jesus lives in you.

Yet we need to know the way of boldness. Fake boldness cannot bring anything good. It will only lead to failure and defeat. As we are facing the battle of life, we need the inward boldness. This is produced by standing right and knowing your capacity and right in God. A sinner will always feel condemned. And his bold face cannot take him anywhere; but the righteous are as bold as the lion.

Understanding that your righteousness is only given by your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthian 5:20). Don't let the devil continue to make you feel condemned (Romans 8:1). Begin to seek to know God through His word and begin to work in His way, then your boldness will be put in place (Daniel 11:32). Even asking and receiving from God takes boldness (Hebrew 4:15-16). So rise up in boldness and overcome your situations. God is on your side.

Prayer: Lord, baptize me with the Spirit of boldness

"A BOLD PERSON IS ALWAYS A THREAT TO THE ENEMY "

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 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.
