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...

LOVE LANGUAGES

Devotional:- “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on Us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (V. 1)

    Words are powerful. Words are seed (Luke 8:11). The word of God creates and so are our words (John 1:1-3). If our word creates, then, it is the seed for all that were produced in this world. It is important we know that, there are angels of God to carry out our words especially when we are speaking the word of God (Psalms103:20). That is why there is no one who can keep speaking hatred that will have love around him/her.

The word of God says God is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters. He is not ashamed to call us His own people. That is how we also should not be afraid to identify with our loved ones. The Bible says God publicly spoke about Jesus, “This is my beloved son, hear ye Him” (Matthew 17:5). God said this at different times – when Jesus was been baptized and also at the Transfiguration Mountain (Matthew3:17; Matthew 17:5).

Friend, it is not out of place to use languages of love to speak to our spouses “My beloved”; “My dear”; “My love” etc., that is why this is not for any other person except your spouse. If God calls us His beloved, then, we should call ourselves beloved. And your marriage will be sweet. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to always sow the seed of love into my marriage

“IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE THAT STIRS UP LOVE”

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.
