PURPOSE OF LOVE Romans 5:6-11 Devotional:- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us..” (V. 8). NKJV Sometimes we make such a mistake as loving only our lovers. We do not often think that by this we fulfill the Law of Moses and not the law of grace, loving only those who love us and probably hating those who hate us. But this is not true love. If you understand the purpose of love, you will know that love is not needed when everyone is perfect, but most needed because we are not. The scripture we read today demonstrates one of the greatest acts of God’s love to us. And this is a revelation of God’s love to you. Even though you commit sin and He hates sin, yet He loves you. It is for your sake that He sent Jesus, His only son, to die on the cross. See, people may hate you for one reason or another, but God loves you. He so much believed in you that He had to give up His son to die for your sake (1 John 4:9-10). ...

ABSENTING FROM ZION
Psalm 87:1-7
Devotional:- “They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion” (v.7) NKJV
It is important that you, as a believer, understand the importance of fellowshipping with the church. It is a place where people of the same Spirit come together and share strength. It is a place where the God of the church comes to bless His people (Ps. 133:3).
It is a place where we are delivered of whatever the enemy wants to entangle us with (Obadiah V.17). It is a place where heavy burdens are removed. It is a place where heaven and earth fellowship together and bring our cases to remembrance (Heb. 12:22-25).
It is remarkable to observe how believers today downplay the importance of the gathering of the saints. This is actually a sign of the end times. But you should be careful not to avoid the gathering of the saints.
Everyone is faced with challenges that weaken their strength, but it is in Zion that we are being refilled. Let us thank God for giving us that opportunity once or twice a week. If not, many would have been destroyed easily. If you miss that week, you simply expose yourself to face life battles with little strength. Always be available in Zion, and you will always enjoy its blessings. Peace!
Prayer: Father, help me to always love your presence.

FOLLOWING CHRIST
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.
