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...

CONDEMNATION

CONDEMNATION

Romans 8:1-10
Devotional:- “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (V. 1) NKJV.

    There are things that you and I don’t have again in Christ, but the devil often tries to push them on us. One of such things is condemnation. God’s word told us of the people who face God’s condemnation. These are people who have refused to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour (John 3:17–19). So as a believer, you have nothing called condemnation again. That is the reason you must not live by the dictate of the flesh anymore but of the spirit. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide in all you do (Romans 8:1). Refuse sinful thoughts in your mind whenever they come (Romans 8:5-7).

It is always the trick of the devil to bring us to the platform of condemnation. But this is a game of ignorance on men. He knows that the moment a man takes condemnation, he will drop his faith, confidence, and courage. Condemnation is prejudging yourself due to fake information about the wicked. A man with feelings of condemnation is as weak as a vegetable. He will not see any reason why God needs to help him. He will see himself as not qualified to be alive or have a future. It is accepting the judgement of the devil.

The truth you need to know is that as a spirit-filled believer, you may commit errors, yet you are not condemned. There is forgiveness for you in Christ Jesus when you repent (1 John 1:7-9). The ministry of judgement is neither to the devil nor to any human being. God has only given our judgement to Jesus Christ, the only one who died for us (John 5:22–24). Our judgement is in the hand of Jesus, our Saviour (Romans 8:33–34). Friend, if it is the same Jesus who died for you and who is interceding for you before the Father that has the right to judge you, the truth is that He will not do that (John 5:24). Therefore, you are free from condemnation. Don’t let the devil destroy your confidence in Christ. He has no right to condemn you but Jesus, your saviour. Rise therefore in faith and be bold. Don’t continue in your sin because sin is the strength of condemnation in the life of men (Romans 6:1, Proverbs 28:1). If you will always allow the thoughts of the things of God in your mind, you will always be strong enough to overcome.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS SET MY HEART ON THE WORD OF GOD

“IF THE JUDGE IS YOUR LOVER, HE WILL NOT GIVE JUDGMENT TILL THE CASE FAVOURS YOU”

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.
