TIME OF JOY Philippians 4:1-7 Devotional:- “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again l say, rejoice.” (V. 4) KJV One of the most important and most needed virtues of life is joy. When joy is not in place, many things may not be in place. It is joy that eases a man off the tension of life. It is joy that puts men always in health (Proverbs 17:22). It is joy that destroys our doubt. It is the joy in the Lord that increases our faith. It is joy that refreshes our minds and gives us mental richness. There are many more things that joy does in our lives, yet it looks so scarce in the lives of many. This is because there are not many pleasant situations that will help them rejoice. But you, as a believer, should know that you cannot afford to live in sorrow, for without joy, life will be totally in shambles. It is with joy that we can bring our situation back to life and beauty (Isaiah 12:3). It is the strength of life (Nehemiah 8:10). The coming of Jesus to the world brought the joy that would...

LOVING THE LORD

LOVING THE LORD 

John 14:19-24
Devotional:- “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (V. 23) NKJV

    It is important that we as believers truly love the Lord. It is only those who love the Lord that will enjoy the best of God. Do not be part of Christians who handle the things of God carelessly. No one can stay distant and enjoy the best of a relationship. Therefore, you must grow your love for God if you are His child.

God’s word says the way to demonstrate our love for Him is to be obedient to His word. You must not love anything in this world more than God (John 21:15). When it comes to obeying His instructions, you have no choice. When it comes to doing God’s assignment, you have no option.

If you have not grown up in the Lord to this level, you are considered a baby and a lukewarm Christian before the Lord (Rev. 3:16). It is only those who love Him that can enjoy His manifesting presence. They are the ones who can enjoy the best of God (Isaiah 1:19-20). They are the ones who have strong hope in Christ (Romans 8:28-30). It is only those who truly love Him that will have a greater harvest for their giving. Ask God for a heart of love for Him and He will give you.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME A TRUE HEART OF LOVE FOR YOU.

“IF YOU LOVE THE LORD, YOU WILL ALWAYS OBEY HIM”

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.
