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). ...

SPIRITUAL EARS

SPIRITUAL EARS

Matthew 13:10-16
Devotional:- “For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'” (V.15) NKJV

    Your Spiritual ears are quite different from your physical ears. If you don’t understand the things of the spirit, it will be difficult to hear God. Please know that spirits don’t have our kind of physical ears. Also, understand that you are a spirit being, though you dwell in the body. Spiritual ears are the ears of your Inner Man or your spirit being. 

Please know that the Holy Spirit is living in you as a child of God (1 Corinthians 12:3), so his voice comes from within you. You must grow to hear Him speak to you (John 10:3-5). You, as a believer, have to know the characteristics of His voice. The voice of God is the word of God. i.e. God will not speak contrary to His word. The voice of God, when it comes, will give peace to your heart. This is because your spirit will agree with it (Psalm 85:8).

When you know you need to hear Him, look for a quiet place, ask Him and then listen to Him. He has promised to always answer you anytime you ask Him(Jeremiah 33:3). His voice often comes in as a thought as you wait for His answer to your questions. As you keep listening to Him, you start to grow in hearing Him. From now you will hear Him expressly in Jesus' Name.

Prayer: Lord, open the ear of my Spirit man to hear you well from now on.

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.
