 POWER OF LOVE


I Samuel 18:1-5.

Devotional:- "Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.” (V.1) NKJV

Where true love exists, men can always have the best of times. Love is the most needed factor in this frustrating world. It is only as we build our environment of love that our lives will gain meaning. There is a strong need for us to learn what love can do.

In the scripture we read today, David, a young man but strong by the strength of the Lord, was able to kill Goliath the Philistine (I Samuel (17:44-51). As soon as this happened, the bible says the heart of Jonathan and David was knit together. That is, they greatly love one another. Even though they were not from the same tribe, love is able to bring two people of different backgrounds and tribes together. And because of the love Jonathan had for David, he had to protect David from the trap of his father several times. A true love protects.

Even though Jonathan was supposed to be the next king after his father, he was ready to throw away selfishness and be of help to his friend. He was even willing to allow David to reign as king in his stead. Where true love exists, it is capable of destroying selfishness and the struggle for survival of the fittest. True love creates a peaceful environment. The solution to a troublesome relationship is love. True love brings healing and health. Do you have anyone weak around you? Love brings healing? True love makes a joyful living together. Do you have someone never happy, then love is the solution? Love can break a stony heart. It can reveal the intent and the secret of a man (Judges 16:15-19). Love can humble the stubborn. Do you have a stubborn child or relation, the solution is love. With love, you can teach the dullest, you can make the lazy work and help the hopeless regain hope. If only you can begin to love them, you will see the best of everything around you.

Prayer: Lord, grant me the heart for love.

“WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS HOPE”

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 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 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.
