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). ...

OTHER PEOPLE’S CASE

OTHER PEOPLE’S CASE                                              Genesis18:16-33  Devotional:- “Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?” (V. 24) NKJV

     Do you know it is of a great advantage when you once in a while leave your own matter and take up other people’s case with God. This is what is called intercession, when you take up the act of interceding you enjoy grace to walk out of your challenges without stress. This is because the act of intersection is a symbol of great and sincere love. When you live with the attitude of love you enjoy God more.

Lot was a relation of Abraham who did not really do well in the course of separating from Abraham yet love will not let Abraham hold him in heart and not forgiven. The place Lot chose to dwell was to be destroyed by God Abraham had to intercede for Lot and saved him. This act of intercession is great before God. He said I look for an intercessor but I could not find one (Ezekiel 22:30)

Friend, sometimes for the sake of love, you need to take up matters of people before the Lord. Feel along in their pain, ask God to answer their prayers. God will then start to give you revelation about the people, so that you can understand their problem for you to pray. In the course of time God will also start to show you your own matter too and your prayers will be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, I ask for grace to be an intercessor

“WHEN YOU TAKE UP OTHERS' MATTERS, GOD WILL TOUCH PEOPLE TO TAKE UP YOUR OWN MATTER.”

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.
