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...

SAME FEATHER

Hebrews 17:23-29
Devotional:- “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter” (v.24) NKJV

    Many people today are still victims of wrong association. They move with people who move them away from Christ. This is simply because of the few benefits enjoyed from such groups. But the truth is that if you don’t join the flyers, you may never fly. The reason so many lives are down today is because of the kind of floor people they are moving with.

It was said of Moses that he refused to be identified with the prince of Egypt but preferred to suffer with the Israelites, the chosen people of God. Friend, you need to know that the kind of people you move with will determine what you will be in life.

Association has a strong influence on the life of a man. Each of us has the nature of being influenced by the people around us. The moment you belong to a group consciously or unconsciously, you will want to be faithful to the group. So if they drink, they will influence you into the same. If they have a multi-home, they will influence you to do the same. If they are successful people, they will influence you to do the same. God’s word says, “He that works with the wise will be wise and the companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20).

Check your associations, you need a good one to make your life good. Locate a good fellowship. Don’t be tied down to failures. Move with the people you know for progress. Then your life will also move forward.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from wrong associations.

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.
