  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...

SPIRIT FILLED

Isaiah 59:15-21
Devotional:- So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. (V 19)

    One thing that identifies us with God as His children is the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. It is therefore important for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily.  This is by fellowshipping with God - reading or listening to the word of God, worship and praying in the spirit on constant basis.

The workings of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers includes alerting us, energizing us and helping us to pray (Romans 8:26). That is why a believer must be sensitive to the Spirit.

Many a time, the devil seek to attack us, but the bible says, whenever he is doing that the Holy Spirit will raise a standard against him. The Holy Spirit does that by alerting us sometimes to pray. Other times to praise God, at some instances, the spirit will just wake us from our sleep to read God's word.

All of this are ways through which the Holy Spirit directs us to give us victory over all our adversaries. But it is only a privilege for believers who are filled with the Spirit. You also need to set time aside to ask for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Then you will become sensitive enough to overcome in the battles of life.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me by your Spirit to always overcome.

"THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT GUARANTEES VICTORIOUS LIVING ".

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.
