  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

JEHOVAH SHALOM

Judges 6:12-24
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called It Jehovah-shalom…” (V.24) KJV

    Another scarce commodity in the affairs of many today is peace. Everyone loves peace but as much as people desire peace as much as it is not available to them. Until men locate the source of peace, they may never experience it the way it is supposed to be. God is the source of true peace and that is why Jesus is called the prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6).

An Angel of the Lord met Gideon and he was so shocked. When he met the angel, he never knew that it was an angel of God. But as they kept conversing after the sacrifice it dawned on him that he had been speaking with God unknowingly. So, he became afraid thinking he was going to die (Exodus 33:20). But God spoke to Him and said, “Peace be unto you, fear not for you shall not die. And he calls the place Jehovah-Shalom meaning, The Lord is Peace”.

Friend, get to know that God is your peace. He is your security and strength. He is your protection. When you always see God around you then His peace shall always surround you. Instead of death, you shall live. His gift of peace is without repentance if you will remain in Him(John 14:27; Romans 11:29). Now, He will give peace in your land and your life and family shall continue to experience the peace of God (Leviticus 26:6).

Prayer: Lord, help my heart to rest in your peace forever

“WHEN HE IS YOUR PEACE NO ONE WILL TROUBLE YOU”

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.
