A FRIEND

  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

GOOD FOUNDATION

Devotional:- “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (V. 24)

    The human race has always been deceived into pleasure mentality (Revelation 12:9). This singular factor has excluded multitude from being able to walk in wisdom. It closes doors of joy against many because, they feel they are not enjoying as others. It excludes multitude from financial wisdom because they think they have to pursue pleasure. The worst of it all is that it disallows people from having a good and solid home because pleasure has become a priority for many.

It is important for us to know that it is wisdom to build our family lives on the foundation of which the author of relationship has given. This is by obeying these instructions of the Lord for relationship. The Bible spells out how a home should run. Jesus likens it to a building which a wise man who builds should build on the rock. When storm comes and wind blows, the house could not fall.

Friend, let us follow the way of the Lord in order to have a strong family relationship. Don’t follow human culture and tradition (Romans 12:2). The word of God will guide you to true love because God Himself is love (1 John 4:7-8). The way of the Lord is not like that of your friends and customs. We are now new creature in Christ Jesus. Following the way of the Lord is wisdom. By that way, you will have God in Control of relationship that cannot be taken over by the devil. And your home shall be strong. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help my relationship to be on the right foundation.

BUILDING TO PATTERN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST

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.
