  BECOMING LIKE CHRIST Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren” (V. 29) The third purpose of your life is to become like Christ. From the very beginning God intend to make man to be like Himself (Gen 1:26). So like God, we are made a spirit and our spirit lives the body. We are intellectual, we can think and solve problems. We are relational, i.e. we can give and receive love. We also have a moral conscience to discern right from wrong which make us accountable to God. God’s ultimate goal for you on earth is not comfort but character. He wants you to grow up and become like Christ. This does not mean losing your personality. Christlikeness is all about transforming your character and not your personality. Every time you forget that character development is the reason you are here you frustrate yourself.

PRINCIPLES OF LOVE

Devotional:- “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up” (V. 4)

  

  Genuine love is fast eroding away from our world today. This is because, people want to practice love without the principles of love. This will only make such a lust and not love. It is important we understand the reason God created the union of relationship for the human. It is to make a person grow together with others and become mature enough to fulfill his/her destiny. So, without right relationship, many may not be able to succeed. Also, without true love, no relationship will be Successful.

The Bible, which is the book and the manual of good relationship highlighted to us the principle that makes it work. For any relationship to work, we must be willing to endure with each other. Fast food relationship will not work most time. We must be kind to each other, because we are prone to mistakes. True love is not self-displayed, it is sacrificial and knows that it is the grace of God that we are able to do whatever we are doing. Love will not disrespect others or be rude. Love always sees others important and put them first. Love does not imagine evil but good for others. Love hopes the best for others. It does not give up in difficulties.

For us to be able to walk in these principles, we must be ready to see the importance of others in our lives and sacrificially relate with them. We must also be responsible to cultivate each of the principle we are reading to make us skillful in quality relationships. That is when we can get the best of relationship. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live by the principles of your love.

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 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.
