  STAND IN 1 Timothy 2:1-7  Devotional:- “Here are my directions: Pray much for others; plead for God's mercy upon them; give thanks for all he is going to do for them.” (v.1) TLB . When God lifts a man, such a man must have enjoyed the intercessory ministry of others. It is part of the principle of God for us to receive (Matthew 7:7). This is because He does not want to break into our free will and damage our choice. He does not want to break into our decision. That is why we say it sometimes when an event happens, "Did God not see it?” Until He is asked to do something, He finds it difficult to do it. Rather, if He wants to promote a man and the man is not aware, He will touch other people to pray for him.  That is why you and I must also be willing to pray and stand in the gap for others. Paul was instructing Timothy and all of us as members of the body of Christ to pray for others. There are so many people around you who need one thing or another. Even though you ca...

JILTED LOVE

JILTED LOVE

II Samuel 13:7-18
Devotional:- “Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone!” (V. 15) NKJV

    Today many people in the world have become victims of love that has been turned to hatred. The best of friends sometimes can become the worst enemies. Some marriages that started full of love have turned bitter. Many couples have rendered their marriage vows null and void. Some spouses have allowed the third party to destroy their relationship. And someone is always a victim of such evil.

Ammon the son David demonstrated immaturity in operating fake love. This kind of love is called infatuation or lust. This is what young people always mistake for love. But the end of it is often hatred. The reason why there are many jilted loves today is because the foundation of most love affairs is not sure (Psalm 11:3). The foundation is mostly infatuation and insincerity. It is a product of the indiscipline of the sexual urge. Instead of dealing with this weakness, some assume sleeping around will solve it. That was what killed Samson and brought Solomon down.

Many spouses also give in to the devil to allow a third party to break their love. This is often due to the carelessness of one who may be playing a foolish game till it turns around to be a trouble. If anyone is a victim of jilted love, let him make Jesus his or her lover. Make Him your friend. Let Him redirect your life. Forgive the one that jilted you for your peace to be established. Then make yourself available for the service of God. And the Lord will recognize your life. He will turn around your life. And you will have testimonies.

PRAYER: LORD, RESTORE YOUR PEACE AND LOVE TO MY HEART.

“THE GREATEST LOVE CAN BE FOUND IN JESUS”

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.
