  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...

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

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.
