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...

LABOUR OF FAITH

LABOUR OF FAITH

Hebrews 4:1-12
Devotional:-“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (V.11)

    Most believers have not come to an understanding of the need to labor in the word of God. Everyone wants the strength and exploit of the word of God but not ready to labor for it. Laboring in the word of God is simply studying meditatively to know the truth of the word of God.

Apostle Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved by God (2 Timothy 2:15). The bible says the word of God should be rich in us (Colossians 3:16). But this takes some measure of labor. So many Christians today cannot explain a verse in the bible but can narrate all films in town. Some don’t search the scripture at all not to mention having an interest in attending bible study or school. Laboring in the word of God is not only for the pastors but for everyone who wants to grow strong in the Lord and enter into rest. The Berea church was known for this (Acts 17: 10-12).

From now when you contact a scripture either in church or during personal study time, search to know it more. Study it to have better understanding of it, and you will be a strong person of faith. You will have rest over what troubles others. And gain the strength of knowledge (Proverbs 24:5). Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me love for your word.

“THE MORE YOU KNOW THE STRONGER YOU WILL BE”

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.

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.
