  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word. Then the reward here is that the father will also love such one i...

LABOUR OF LOVE

LABOUR OF LOVE

Devotional:- “For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor o love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (V. 10)

    There Is a need to have the understanding of the labour of love. Cultivating quality relationship is a lot of work. Most people are just looking for pleasure. They do not know that to build a good relationship of any type demands some kind of labour. This is because we all come from different background. To become one in understanding, view and focus is a lot of work. To reform an adult is virtually one of the greatest works on earth. Even, God don’t find it easy with man (Genesis 6:5-8).

The word of God says, God is not unjust to forget our work and labour of love. This simply mean that God appreciate labour of love. Everyone who gives him/herself to work toward creating healthy relation is appreciated by the Lord. The labour of love is the patient we have with each other to wisely and prayerfully communicate our differences till we can blend together as one.

Anyone who is not ready to pay these costly prices cannot build or sustain good relationship. It is not even two or three years work it is a lifetime one. It is a work on others that make us work on ourselves too. It is a work that forces you to compromise self and change to attain peace and unity in relationship. At the end, it will be a work that is really worth embarking on. So, be humble to put in your best. At the end, it shall be sweet. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to labour for my future sweetness.

“HE THAT WILL EAT THE HONEY IN THE ROCK WILL NOT MIND WEAKENING THE AXE.

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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.
