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...

ON THE ROCK

ON THE ROCK

Psalms 18:1-3
Devotional:- “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” (V. 2) NKJV.

    One of the places of natural beauty on the earth is on the rock. When people stand on the rock, the rock itself creates a sense of firm foundation for their standing. Do you know that there are beautiful and cool waters on the rock? You can never compare the breeze on a rock to the one in a valley. When a man stands on the rock, he has a wider scope of life. He sees wider space on the earth at a glance. He stands more highly above many things. This is why the Bible compares the believer’s life to a life on the rock (Matthew 5:14-16).

I need to let you know that this rock is Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:4). Friend if Jesus is your rock, then you will not be moved. So many things may happen; a storm or wind may blow, yet you will stand. None of them will be able to destroy you. There on the rock, you will enjoy the best refreshment of the purest waters of life, which is the word of God. And there, like the eagles, you have your maximum security.

No arrow of the enemy will be able to catch up with you. They will hit the rock. No destruction, no pestilence will be able to get you. Right down, there may be thousands getting destroyed, yet you will be exempted. You will sail through all the clouds of evil and rather flourish amid famine. You will bear fruits when others are drying. You will enjoy ever-fresh and consistent waters from the rock. This is because God is your rock (Psalms 92:15).

PRAYER: LORD, BE MY ROCK AND MY FORTRESS FOREVER.

“WHERE YOU STAND DETERMINES WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND”

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.
