A CHOSEN PEOPLE

A CHOSEN PEOPLE Deuteronomy 7:4-11 Devotional:- “…the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth…” (V.6)      The basic challenge we are facing that does not make us understand our new position in Christ is that of misunderstanding how we become a child of God. Because we do not understand what it takes, many don’t even value it. So they easily throw it off their mind. Many today are not holding on to their faith and are easily discouraged simply because they lack understanding of the richness of their choice. Some also put up some pride and some show up because they think they were qualified.

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.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
