  ATMOSPHERE OF LOVE l John 4:12-19 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.“ (V. 18) NKJV In any environment where love is predominant, such environment will be characterized with liberty. So many people who desire an atmosphere of love today unconsiciously create barriers agaisnt it by not creating a free environment. In the home of some people, though they complain there is no love, they don’t create liberty among themselves. The scripture we read today says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. “A very good portrait of love is the atmosphere God created in the garden of Eden at creation. God wanted love, and so He made it a free relationship. Liberty is not an absence of rules and regulations but the joy of living by the rules without fear. Liberty without laws will surely lead to sin. That time, God will come down in His glory and ma...

THE LION

Revelation 5:1-9
Devotional:- “But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals” (V.5) NKJV

    Confidence in life is achieved only when a man is restful in his mind. No man can attain a good state of rest until he has ascertained his factors of confidence. The reason why men fail is because they unreasonable trust in a factor that is not tested. I have seen people fall as a result of trying to sit on a chair without ascertaining its condition. Some fellows pick other people’s cars without ascertaining the state of their efficiency. That could be very dangerous.

Friend, let us ascertain Jesus upon whom I am inviting you to trust. He is the lion of the tribe of Judah. He is the root of the house of David. If you observe in Genesis 49:8-12, when Jacob was prophetically blessing his children when he got to Judah, he said he is a lion’s whelp, who shall rouse him up (Genesis 49:9). He is a no-go area for anyone. That was referring to Jesus. See, no power can try Him (Proverbs 30:30). This is not an ordinary lion but of the tribe of Judah. The Bible says the rulership shall not depart from Him (Genesis 49:10). This means He is the one to rule eternally. Our scripture today says He is the root of David (Revelation 5:5). David was the king who lost no battle all through his days. And if Jesus is his root, he then is the source of the unfailing strength.

If you rely on Him, you cannot fail. He will make you a winner and a ruler over the forces of life eternally. He will be your unfailing strength. See, the scroll of your life the enemy has rolled up a long time ago is about to be opened. Stop weeping. Jesus, by His strength, is opening your destiny up to the next phase of glory. Just begin to praise and worship Him like the elders did. And you will never be the same again.

PRAYER: JESUS, BE MY EVERLASTING STRENGTH.

“WHEN YOUR SCROLL IS OPENED, YOUR GLORY IS OPENED.”

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.
