  GREATNESS   Luke 1:26-37 Devotional:- “He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David” (v.32) NKJV One of the strong prophecies that was spoken about Jesus was that He would be great. I have discovered with time that lasting greatness is given by God. Therefore, it becomes unattainable only by labour but by God’s favour. You hardly see anyone who doesn’t desire to be great, but greatness is life's answer to a few people. This is not because many people don’t labour for it, but because God did not approve their greatness. I need to bring you to an understanding of how to contact true greatness. It comes through the combination of virtues called labour and favour. These two virtues come from both man and God, respectively. Man labour but God favour. Anyone can easily give himself to effective labour, but if the favour of God does not come on it, greatness may not respond. We have a blessing in the birt...

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.

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.
