  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (V. 10)  As a kingdom citizen please known that God wants to be your best friend. This is because intimacy is part of your act of worship. It is true that God is our maker and redeemer yet he wants to be our friend. Remember we were made to live continually in God’s presence but it is sin that makes us loose that (Gen 3, Roman 3:23)  In our scripture for today we saw that it was grace through the sacrifice of the cross that gives us access to friendship with God (2 Corinthians 5:18).

    Giving in obedience to God remains a major means of demonstrating true love for God. The truth is that if we truly love Him, to give what He has given us for the work of His kingdom will not be difficult for us. All through the scripture, God always test people’s love by asking them to give.

When He wanted to test the love of Abraham, He asked him to give his only son and this led to a turnaround in his life (Genesis 22:15-17). Solomon gave a thousand burnt offerings and that led to a turnaround in his life.

It Is important that we know that God owns all things (Psalms. 24:1), He does not need the permission of the Canaanite to give their country to the Israelites because all things belong to Him. So, when He ask us to give, He is asking for His things that He has kept in our hand. Our willingness to obey Him qualifies us for Him to give us more (Isaiah 1:19).

Friend, always prove your love for God by obeying His instruction to give and your own finances and destiny will not be depressed.

PRAYER: Lord, Give Me A Giver’s Heart.
