  A FRIEND John 15:9-17  Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15) In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us. We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out t...

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.
