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). ...

WITHOUT HIM

WITHOUT HIM 

John 15:1-8
Devotional:- "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (V. 5) NKJV 

    God made man to be independent. He made us as being that is capable of carrying out our destiny on earth. We are made like God. Yet, we must know that true independence is to know what you want and choose to connect to where you can get it. No independence means not depending on a source. You are made to be influenced by a spirit, depending on your choice. It could now be of God or the devil (Job 32:8).

The free moral agents that God created us to be are to allow us to use our will power voluntarily. But please, know where to plug yourself. Jesus said, “He is the vine and we are the branches. When the branch removes itself from the vine, it is going to dry and be destroyed. That is why, without Him, we can do nothing.

Be careful not to keep living without Him, so that you are not unconsciously connecting to the devil through the flesh. Let God be involved in all areas of your life. He is the source of true strength (Isaiah 40:29). Always connect yourself to Him in your heart by always acknowledging Him, and new strength will always flow into you (Isaiah 40:30-31). Plug your health, family, business, finances and ministry into Him. You will never lack the strength

PRAYER: Lord, help me never to be cut off from you.

“ANY PART OF YOU THAT IS OFF CHRIST IS OUT TO DRY.”

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.
