LOVE DEFINED I John 4:7-11 Devotional:- “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (V.8) NKJV Today, many people have been put into great trouble simply because they are looking for love. Since the nature of man cannot enjoy living without a lover, everyone searches for one wholeheartedly. If you find anyone who says he doesn’t need love from anyone, he is not sincere. He will soon find himself in desperate need of love. Since love is a universal need, men always seek for it, and most people never find it. There are quite a lot of things men term love, which are not, and has inturn misled and confused them. Until you can define your need, you may not have them met. This necessitates the need to truly define love. The scripture we read today gave us the true meaning of love. And you will be wise to embrace the word of God. It said, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). This mean God is love personified. It is His character and attitude. You can always define God as love. That is t...

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.

Jesus gave a parable about the kingdom of God. That is what our lives should be like as citizens of the kingdom of God. He said; ten servants were given minas. A mina worth is about three month’s wages. So also, God has invested much into you. You cannot bury God’s gift, talents, and grace in your life and not trade it for your profit and the profit of the kingdom of God. The profit you must make for God’s kingdom will add up to your lifting (Luke 19:17). That is why you should serve the Lord with all He has invested in you.

Friend, the master is coming to ask for His minas. Some don’t want to do business because they don’t want trouble. Others just want to avoid the challenge and the risk of business. Yet, there is something you can do. It is either sales or services. Your excuses will not pay your bills. If you can plan well enough, what you have is enough to start with. Be determined to rise this year and God will help you.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RISE.

“SIT DOWN AND THINK POSITIVELY; YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RISE.”

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.

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.
