LOVE DEFINED I John 4:7-11 Devotional:- “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (V.8) NKJV Today, many people have been put into great trouble simply because they are looking for love. Since the nature of man cannot enjoy living without a lover, everyone searches for one wholeheartedly. If you find anyone who says he doesn’t need love from anyone, he is not sincere. He will soon find himself in desperate need of love. Since love is a universal need, men always seek for it, and most people never find it. There are quite a lot of things men term love, which are not, and has inturn misled and confused them. Until you can define your need, you may not have them met. This necessitates the need to truly define love. The scripture we read today gave us the true meaning of love. And you will be wise to embrace the word of God. It said, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). This mean God is love personified. It is His character and attitude. You can always define God as love. That is t...

SACRIFICE

Genesis 8:15-22 
Devotional:- Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offering on it” (v. 20) NIV

    Believers need to purge their minds of earthly beliefs and philosophies that are contrary to the word of God to be able to enjoy the best of God. Most people don’t want to ever hear teachings of sacrifice because something in man will always want to resist the way of God, but our flesh will only want to sanction the things of the Spirit. 

Sacrifice is an offering to God, a gift of our love to prove our appreciation to Him. It is our seed for a greater response from

God. It is a sign of appreciation to God for the past benefits. It is what triggers God to establish His covenant of blessing with man. No life will succeed without sacrificing.

Noah had been saved from the flood. He and his family thought it wise to sacrifice and appreciate the Lord for His mercy toward them. Little do they know that they were about to make God release another covenant blessing upon their lives and destinies.

When God smelled the aroma of the sacrifice from the bottom of His heart, he pronounced a great blessing that has preserved the earth till now. Friend, don’t be pushed. Plan to make a sacrifice to the Lord from your heart as the new year begins. Just like God blessed Abraham from His heart (Genesis 22:17), He will also bless you. Look for something precious to do for the Lord and His servants. Let it be precious and painful sacrifices for a precious covenant. Sacrifices are not always easy, for they are precious seeds for the release of precious destiny and its actualisation. It’s your turn to rise.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be willing to sacrifice for the release of my destiny.

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.
