PURPOSE OF LOVE

  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). ...

IF GOD BE FOR US

Romans 8:28-39
Devotional:- “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (V. 31) NKJV

    Living a life of defeat is a frustrating thing. It could cripple the heart of a person from taking right steps to progress. This in most cases, is a product of defeat mentality. Defeat mentality is largely a product of fear and doubt. Fear and doubt are also produced by repeated experiences of failure. If a man has tried several times on so many things and has failed, he may not be willing to try again. That is why the best things in life is not to depend on your experiences but on the power of God.

You, as a child of God, should know that God is for you. He is inside you. You are His temple (1 Cor 5:16-17). God’s word says, Jesus is our Emmanuel, which means God with us. You need to put your confidence in Him. You need to depend on Him, not on yourself (Proverbs 3:5).

This God cannot be for you, and you are defeated. He is the Almighty God and if the Almighty God is inside you then there is nothing to fear, even when it looks as if all things are collapsing, yet they will rise again (Proverb 24:16). There is therefore a need to have this set in your mind, since God is for you, no power will prevail against you. Therefore, be sure you are conscious of His presence (Psalm 24:4). Take instruction from Him in all you do (Proverbs 3:5-6). Be sure you always obey His directions, and you will always overcome. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you because you dwell in me for my victory.

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 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.
