DON'T HATE

  DON’T HATE Matthew 5:43-48  Devotional:- “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (V. 44) NKJV The subject of love is not always easy to practise between you, and those who have shown themselves as committed enemies. Those who will openly stand against you. Those who just hate you for no reason. Those who don’t pray that anything good should happen to you. Yet the Bible gave us a commandment in the midst of it all to love and never to hate them. What a great task! But until a Christian grows to this level, he cannot actually be called mature. The way to handle it is that we should bless those who curse us. Always do good to those who hate you. If they are moved by the spirit in them to do evil to you, be moved by the Spirit in you to love them. We cannot truly say we love till we can prayerfully demonstrate the character of love. In your time, consciously me...

DON’T AVENGE

DON’T AVENGE

I Samuel 26:7-21
Devotional:- “The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go" (V11) NKJV

    Every man who is offended always wants to avenge. That is what the canal nature teaches us, but the word of God teaches us not to avenge ourselves (Romans 12:19).

There is a difference between claiming your rights and avenging yourself. To claim your right is to stand strong to gain what is yours, this is biblical. But to avenge means to repay someone for an offense committed against you. This is wrong! It is the tricks of the enemy to make you keep throwing your thoughts and strength backward. It is a way of sapping your strength by making you reflect on the weight of the offense of the past.

Saul the king was out in all his strength waiting to destroy the young David. The strongest army of Israel was employed in the battles just because of a boy. But David decided never to avenge himself and the wicked Saul killed himself. Friend, why don’t you let go and let God? Stop expending your energy on things of the past. Live all for God; He will take care of it all. But don’t let such things destroy your focus on your glory. At last, Saul died and David reigned. You are the one to reign, be wise. Peace!

PEACE: LORD, DELIVER ME FROM THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.

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.
