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). ...

ARE YOU READY

ARE YOU READY?

Deuteronomy 20:5
Devotional:- "Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: 'What man is there who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it” (V. 5) NKJV

    Most Christians often want to overcelebrate their current victory. That sometimes does not make us realise that there are yet more lands to cover, more greatness to achieve and more progress to make. This also happened to the children of Israel in the time of Joshua, that they could not conquer all the lands.

The scripture we read today is a major reason many may not be able to receive all that God has prepared for them. Many are still celebrating the past achievement when they should have been ready for another.

Friend, it is important for you to know that where you are today is far from your destination. You must therefore be careful not to settle on the road. The way some Christians take their job, business, their new house, and car, you will know that they are not ready to go far.

I read of one of the richest men in the world who has the biggest private jet company in the world, but had never entered one before. Get ready, there is more land to cover. Stop over-celebrating the little. Be more committed to the Lord; Keep building yourself in God and you will enter your portion. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always be ready.

“HE THAT SETTLES DOWN NOW MAY NEVER SEE HIS GLORY”

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.
