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...

AUTHOR AND FINISHER

AUTHOR AND FINISHER

Hebrew 12:1-4
Devotional:- “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (V. 2) NKJV

    It is important as a man with a brand-new life to know that your redeemer is the author and the finisher of your faith. In so many situations of life, people could stand with you at the beginning of a thing but may not continue to bother about how you run the race. But the Bible refers to Jesus as the beginning and the end of all things (Revelation 1:8).

You need to recognise Him as the author of your faith. Any time you see faith growing in you, it is because He started it. He is the word of God (John 1:1). And the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). This means the word of God is the source of every genuine and increasing faith. If there is any faith that will not fail, it must have its roots in the word of God.

Most people can believe by picking up faith from the words of men and are easily discouraged. But do you know that as for you, when Jesus authors your faith, He helps you by the Holy Spirit to bring it to perfection and performance? That is why, despite our doubt, sometimes God still fulfils His words in our life (Genesis 18:9-14). And we sometimes say, “I did not even know that God could do it.”. See, He is committed to bring His word to pass. That is why He is only looking for mustard seed size of faith in you to perform His word (Matthew 17:20). He is the originator of your faith and the finisher of His word in your life. See, the word of God cannot fail in your life. You cannot but fulfil your destiny.

PRAYER: LORD, BE THE SUSTAINER OF MY FAITH FROM NOW.

“IF YOUR FAITH WILL NOT BE SUSTAINED BY GOD IT WILL NOT BE CERTAIN”

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.
