  GREAT HOME John 14:1-6 Devotional:- “In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (V. 2) NKJV At creation, God created man into a paradise made for his eternal pleasure. God did not intend that the human race would ever live in suffering. Man was made to enjoy the best of mental exertion for a beautiful outfit. Man was to live forever in the paradise of God. But the devil cunningly deceived man, which made God chase man out of the paradise. Since then, the life of man has been terrible and most miserable. That is why when people have everything they need in this world, they will still discover that they are not fully satisfy. There is no place we can live that will fully satisfy us. This is a factor and the fact that something in us is still looking for something somewhere better than this world. In search of this, some people try to go to the moon and other planets. But in the scripture we read today, Jesus ...

OPENNESS

Devotional:- “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (V. 24) NKJV

    The principle of relationship demands that we are open to receive the other person we have decided to relate with. Openness has to do with allowing the one you accept to love into your privacy. Without privacy, you cannot have access to the heart of most people. People need to see the genuineness in someone before they can open up the secret of their lives. Yet, one must allow the other in, before intimate relationship can begin.

The word of God says, a man who wants friends must himself be friendly. In other words, he must open up himself to be accessed. He must welcome others. Since we need people, we must not pretend as though we don’t need them. Friendliness demands that we allow others. That is why it is not everyone that is permitted to be at the same level of relationship with us.

Meeting with people demands that we quickly understand the purpose of our relationship with them. This demands that we know the level of closeness we can afford to give them. This will also determine how free we can be with them. Yet, no matter how close or distant, we have to give people the opportunity at their level. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart for others.

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 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.
