VALUE YOURSELF

VALUE YOURSELF 1 Peter 2:1-10  Devotional:- “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (V. 9) NKJV If anyone is going to enjoy the love of God, he must see himself as lovely. One of the ways for someone to see themselves as lovely is by valuing themselves. You need to know that of all the creatures of God, not only on earth but also in heaven, you are the most special. According to the word of God, there is no other creature that is as valuable as you are. You are the reason for the labour of the devil (1 Peter 5:8). You are the envy of the demons. You are the envy of the angels. A great percentage of the angels are serving the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The scripture we read today calls you a chosen one. That is, among the multitude, God selected you out for Himself. You are a royal priesthood, that is, you are a kingly priest...

ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPTANCE

Genesis 24:54-67
Devotional:- “Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death” (V. 67)

    For any relationship to be strong, it must start on the foundation of acceptability. Relationship could sometimes be very challenging when the level of acceptance is not all that strong. Some people go into relationship when they are not really ready to accept each other. Others consider entering into relationship based on a shallow acceptance. Such relationship will get to the middle of existence to discover they didn’t consider it deeper before saying, I do.

The word of God says that Isaac and Rebecca saw each other for the first time and they accept each other. This is an act of faith in God who is able to sustain every relationship. Accepting each other demands so much deep thought. It demands that we make up our mind to remain in the relationship no matter what. It lives no room to reconsideration of divorce. It demands seeing well before a conclusion is made.

I had of a new couple regretting their relationship from the first day. Some people have not yet accepted each other even after ten years of marriage. People will be forcing themselves to live together in this case. If you believe God has brought you together, then, put your differences aside to build your home. Stop comparing your spouse to another person’s spouse (2 Corinthians 10:12). From the day you accept each other, is the day you really start your marriage. That is when you will take responsibility to build your home and you will have a sweet one. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to build good home.

“ACCEPTANCE IS THE BEGINNING OF RELATIONSHIP”

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.
