LEARN AND RELATE

 LEARN TO RELATE


Romans 12:14-21 
Devotional:- “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (v. 16) NIV.

We live in a world today that promotes youthful excesses more than that of the mature. We do this in the name of youthful innovations. That is why no office wants to employ relatively old individuals any more. It’s a competitive world. This is making a greater percentage of the world fail in the area of relationships. This is because it is a youthful idea to think you don’t need others. The world of this age is trying to build self-sufficient people. This is the reason many have not learnt the wisdom of relationships. For this reason, today, many people don’t have a home. Many have lost their job and joy. Many have missed many opportunities.

The scripture we read today teaches us the right attitude to enjoy a relationship with others. Be careful of pride or overvaluing yourself (Romans 12:3). Pride will always bring a man down (Proverbs 16:18). What do you have that God has not given you? Bless those who persecute you. Bless people from your heart, no matter what they’ve done for you; do not curse (Romans 12:14). When others are happy, be happy with them. Sometimes, put aside your sorrows and rejoice with others. Don’t avoid sorrowful people; encourage them (Romans 12:15). Be at peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14, Proverbs 16:17). Be willing to associate with low people. God has made you a solution. Don’t you ever be wise in your own eyes? Don’t repay anyone evil for evil (Romans 12:17). Let your honesty be known. Don’t be bitter with anyone. Leave vengeance to God; forgive and forget (Romans 12:19). Love your enemy. Conquer evil by doing well. Friend, though these might look funny and unacceptable to the society we live in, these are the wisdom of God to maintain good relationships with others. You will not miss it.

Prayer: Lord, build your wisdom into me by your Spirit.
“GOOD RELATIONSHIP IS THE FOUNDATION FOR EVERY 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 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.
