Thursday, April 27, 2023 Devotional  Topic: LOVE IS NOT HYPOCRITICAL  Text: Romans 12:9-21 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Love is not hypocritical, don't love people only when you're on good terms with them and hate them when you're not, don't love people only when you have something to gain from them, don't love people because they're popular or because they have a lot of money.  Don't love people in their faces and stab them with your words the minute they turn their backs. Don't love people because your friend/family/leader loves them and then hates them when they don't like them anymore. The enemy of your friend isn't your enemy, my dear.  Love is TRUE, and that's because God is love. He has set the pace for what love should be; sacrifice, humility, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, correction and rebuke, respect, reconciliation… These and many more are elements of love. If...

Tuesday April 25, 2023 Devotional Topic:BEYOND THE BLESSINGS  Text:Jeremiah 17:7-8. 7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. 8 He is like a tree that is planted by the waters, that stretches out its roots toward the stream; it does not see the heat when it comes, and its foliage remains green; in the year of drought it has no fear, and it never ceases to bear fruit. Our God is very generous. When he decides to bless, he does so abundantly. For example, when the wedding hosts had no more wine for their guests. Jesus gave them better wine (John 2:1-11).  Psalm 68:19 says, "Blessed be the Lord, who fills us with his goodness every day; the strong God is our deliverance, Selah." Marti Version. In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, God spoke of great blessings - blessings so great that they will overtake you. The kind of blessing that will make you say, "Lord, this is too much" will begin to come upon you in Jesus' name. Beyond loading yo...

Saturday 22nd April 2023 Devotional  Topic: Forgiveness  Text: Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18: 20-21 Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:  15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 18:20 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?  21 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.  Forgiveness is simply the act of pardoning and letting go of someone who has wronged you, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. Forgiveness is one of the great acts God showed unto us as mankind, He forgave us all our sins and brought us into his marvelous light. We didn't deserve it, neither were we worthy of receiving His forgiveness, but He let go of it all. He then wants us (His children) to live out this act of His to e...

Thursday, 6th of April 2023 devotion.  Topic: Tarry At His Presence!  Text: Exodus 24:12, 15-16           12." And the Lord said unto Moses, come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give three tables of stone, and a law and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest tech them.  15." And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.            16."And the glory of the Lord abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and on the seventh day He called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Enoch Adeboye is a Nigerian renowned man of God whose growing up as a child wasn't such a blissful one. He has always seen the presence of God, but could not get a grip of the essence of that and what purpose he should fulfil.  Life threw its challenges at him, and he sought for help everywhere possible, but all to no avail.  Luckily enough, he was lucky to be...

Tuesday 4th April 2023 Devotional Topic:The time to reset is now  Text:Gal 2:20 Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Tola has accepted Christ, given her life to him, and even rededicated her life to him, she is not a struggling Christian, but she finds herself in sin. Every time she takes a bold step not to sin again because she fully understands the danger, she keeps finding herself in it due to the type of company she keeps and other factors. The time of reset is now, many at times you might have affirmed or adhered to the instruction of a Holy Spirit not to fall into a trap, but you find yourself in it, not because you are weak but because the burden is more than you, you need help. This is not the time to be sober. But the time to reset, reset your past and start afresh, keep the word of God abreast  ''your wo...
