BEING HELP

  BEING HELP Romans 12:9-20 Devotional:- “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” (V. 13) NIV There is hardly anyone in the world who does not need help, except that they are not making any move to make something happen. So help is a need of people who are looking forward, people who have vision or people who are pursuing a life goal. If you consider yourself in need of help, then you are just one of the people on the path of success. This help could vary from the need for the right people’s assistance, counselling, or money and material. We need to understand with clarity that at any period in time, we will surely reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). And so we must keep sowing help into the life of others to reap help. The bible says, “Share with people who are in need“ Let us be careful not to be too need-conscious that you don’t remember to do good to others. There are people you are far better off. There are people around us who look at us as priv...

EXTENT OF LOVE

 EXTENT OF LOVE


Luke 10:25-37

“The man answered, "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"” (V. 27) NLT

It is important to know that love is the seed that brings the harvest of love. So do you want to be loved? then begin to love. Sometimes our situations want to limit the extent of our love to the people around us. But the extent of our love is not to be determined by our situation or circumstance.

The parable we read in the bible today discloses to us the extent of our love. One, to God, secondly, to our neighbour. The bible teaches us to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. This interprets loving God with all that is in us. Loving Him with all our being, with all our doing, with all at our disposal and with all our reasoning. Our love for God, therefore, can never be sufficient. Love Him with all of you.

The Bible also encourages us to love our neighbour as ourselves. In the parable, we see a true demonstration of love by the Samaritan, and He said we should do likewise. Even though we have close people, distant people and strangers around us, in every situation God expects us to put ourselves in their situation and love them. That is doing to them what we want others to do to us.

If only we could treat others the way we love to be treated, then we would have given our best in love. As much as wickedness and corruption are growing, the Bible teaches us to love.

Prayer: Lord, help me to love indeed.

“THE EXTENT OF YOUR LOVE TO OTHERS IS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED”

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.
