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...

BOOK OF LOVE

BOOK OF LOVE

Devotional:- “But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him” (V. 5)

    The world today Is attempting to destroy the power of relationship. On daily basis, the principles of good relationship are not only broken but destroyed. Today, people are advised to express themselves anyhow. This is called civilization and freedom of speech. The virtue of honour to the elders is destroyed by the way people address each other. Yes, we should not be intimidated to talk to anyone when we ought to, yet moral demands that we do it with honour and respect for each other (Colossians 4:6).

The word of God tells us that no matter what the world is turning to; we are to keep obeying the scriptures (Matthew 7:24). That is when we can have the best of relationship. The word of God is the book of love. This is because; God is love (1 John 4:7-8). His lifestyle, attitude and habit are all love. If we therefore want to have the best of relationship, we will have to learn how to do that from the word of God.

Remember, we are people who are temperamental in all things. That is why you cannot allow yourself to be absolutely free without a principle guiding you in all that you do. It is these principles that will not let us go astray. By this, we will not fall prey to the tricks of the devil. No one knows it all. So, don’t live without a guiding standard to keep you in wisdom (Proverbs 25:28). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to take your word as my guiding principle in my relationship.

“A LIFE WITHOUT A GUIDE IS LIKE A CITY WITHOUT BORDER, OPEN TO ALL ATTACK”

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 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.
