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...

A FRIEND

John 15:13-17
Devotional:- “...but have call you friends, for all things that I heard of my father have made known to you” (V. 15)

    Many times, we are deceived by what we are passing through or the news we hear daily to think God does not love us. But these are tricks of the devil to put the minds of our glorious right in Christ Jesus. The major reason for people suffering in the body of Christ is the enemy using the weapon of ignorance. Even when the truth of the word of God is told to some people they don’t believe. This is because they have been programmed to believe the lies of the enemy (John 8:44).

In the scripture we read today, Jesus calls you friend. This may sound unreligious, but it is the truth. A religious man will ask, How could a mortal man make friendship with his creator? They’ve forgotten that even God called Abraham His friend (II Corinthians 20:7). To be a friend to someone means you are important and desirable to that person. This is someone who loves to come around you and who feels excited when you are with him. This is someone who wants you to be free in sharing and caring for one another.

I need to let you know that you have the spirit of God in you. So you cannot but be His friend, for you cannot but reason or act like Him. Since you have His Spirit, God finds it safe to call a man like you His friend. So please be free to share with Him. When He speaks to you, don’t feel inferior. He wants to enjoy your friendship. That is why you should always read His love letters to you, which are the word of God. That is why you should always take time to be with Him in fellowship, both personally and collectively with the church. Make sure He is the first and the last you think of in each day of your life. And your life shall find all His grace for greatness.

Prayer: Lord, help me to appreciate and enjoy your friendship.

“THE SWEETNESS OF FRIENDSHIP IS IN SHARING TOGETHER.”

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.
