LOVE OF GOD

  LOVE OF GOD I John 4:7-19 Devotional:- “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God” (V. 7) NIV You can hardly separate these two virtues; they are love and joy. They work together as twin brothers. You cannot love and not be joyful. In this season of joy, one of the things you must give room to for your joy to come is love. If you were not billing to love, you may not see joy. They have the same source; they both come from God (Psalm 16:11, 1 John 4:8) The scripture we read today said, Love comes from God and love is God. This means God cannot be in you and you can still hate. If you do, it is a sign that you are not born of God. You cannot be stealing and cheating, and you say you are a child of God. The bible teaches us how to truly demonstrate love. This is by following the example of God. He demonstrated His own love by giving us His most precious gift, Jesus Christ. Love and giving have the same mea...

EXERCISING IN THE SPIRIT

EXERCISING IN THE SPIRIT

Jude 1:17-22
Devotional:- “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit” (V. 20) NKJV

    For a man to be built up in faith, he must be filled with the Holy Spirit and regularly exercise in it. That is because it is the exercises that inspire, anoint, and build faith in you for the achievement of God’s will for your life (Jude 20, Act 4:31). It will be dangerous for any man to remain dry in the Spirit, it could lead to a total defeat in life. That is why God’s word asks us to build up ourselves in the spirit.

The major means of exercising spiritually is to fellowship with the Holy Spirit in worship, the word, and prayers (Act 13:2). This entails taking time to regularly worship in the spirit, learn, and listen to Him (John 4:24). It entails listening to the Holy Spirit and meditating through the word of God (John 6:63). It also involves that we pray in tongues of the Spirit and the language of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:4). This will enhance our growth in faith (Jude 20).

To be able to pray in tongues, you will need to first ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit by faith. Your asking is opening the door of your heart for Him for He is always around looking for an open door (Revelation 3:20). Then open your mouth to speak and He will enable you (Act 2:4). Don’t wait for anything to twist your tongue. Receive the Holy Spirit by faith and by faith open your mouth and begin to speak (Psalm 81:10) and it shall flow in you.

Prayer: Lord, give me a glorious experience with the Holy Spirit.

“YOU CAN’T SPEAK TWO LANGUAGES AT THE SAME TIME WHEN YOU STOP YOUR OWN; HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS OWN”.

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.
