  FORGIVING YOURSELF Luke 22:54-62  Devotional:- “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.bitterly.” (V.62) NKJV Before a man can begin to enjoy the expressive love of God in his life, he must learn the act of self-forgiveness. Self-condemnation is always a terrible permission for the devil to take over in the life of a believer. This can make him lose his self-worth in God’s presence. It can make a believer lose his authority in Christ. It can make a believer lose his joy and build an environment of sorrow. And you need to know that the environment of sorrow removes from you the presence of God. He only dwells where there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11). Unforgiveness can make a man build an atmosphere of fear and then permit the presence of demons. This also breeds discouragement and frustration and makes the life of its victim miserable. The wonderful thing in the scripture we read today is that, though Peter denied Christ publicly and committed a grievous sin, he did not let...

GIVING

John 3:13-21
Devotional:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (V. 16).

    One of the major responsibilities to cultivate in a good relationship is giving. This is very foundational; because it is on it every good relationship is built. Without it, no relationship will stand. People don’t often want to part with what they have, but love is the virtue that can draw it out. Most people treat their income as their life, but love is sharing our lives with others.

The word of God gives us an example of how God also have to give before He can have human being. What makes giving valuable in relationship is the sacrificial nature. It is the willingness to sacrifice that proofs the genuineness of our love. So, when people can’t part with what they have, that is a proof of fake love. That is why God will always test our level of love by asking us to give. God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son.

It Is not necessary volume giving that matters in love but a willing heart. Giving in love is sowing to harvest the best of relationship. It is as God gives us His only son that He has all of us. So also, the level of sacrifice you are willing to make is what determines what we get out at last. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace of a giver.

“GIVING IS SOWING FOR A GOOD HARVEST IN RELATIONSHIP”.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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.
