HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

RESPONSIBILITY

RESPONSIBILITY

Devotional:- “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (V. 16)

    Building a healthy relationship demands that each party is responsible. In a situation where a partner is not responsible, it can frustrate the one that is responsible. This is exactly the way we treat God a lot of time. Man is always discouraged by the devil not to be responsible towards God. Whenever we have needs, we always want God to be responsible towards us, but not us being responsible to God. This is always the bone of contention between man and God. To be responsible is to always carry out part of the relationship deal.

The word of God says, this is how we can know love, because Jesus laid down His life for us. Therefore, we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. To be responsible is to continue to sacrificially take care of each other in relationship. It means, meeting the needs of each other and not expecting one person to meet all the needs. In some cases, one person will be saving his resources for personal goal, while one person takes care of all things for the family. This is what some people call marriage.

Friend, whoever is not responsible is a parasite and a liability. Check your body parts; they are all responsible to each other. Even if your spouse supplies all the things in the house, don’t sit down like that. Make sure you have a great role to play also. Create them if there are none, so that your relationship does not break down because someone is no longer able. Housewife is not equal to idleness. Be wise. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to take my place in my relationship.

“HE THAT PUT IN NOTHING IN ANY RELATIONSHIP WILL NOT GET ANYTHING SERIOUS ON THE LONG RUN”.

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 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.
