They set an ambush for themselves; they booby-trap their own lives! (NLT)._          _"19 - Such is the fate of all who are greedy for gain. It ends up robbing them of life. (NLT)._  Greediness isn't to be desired at all because the end of it is self-affliction, what one thinks would be gained would end up being less and nothing to be compared to the afflictions that one who indulges in it would end up with.  (2 kings 5:9–27) Gehazi, Elisha's servant, met with his Waterloo when he allowed greediness to take over him. His inability to control his greed finally robbed him of the ability to ever walk again.  As believers, diverse temptations will come our way, including greediness(a desire for what is not ours) we must endeavor not to succumb to the will of the flesh with the help of the Wor...

Monday 13th February 2023 Devotional Topic: The Redemption Process: God’s love expressed Text: Colossians 2: 13-15 Golden Text: When you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, (Colossians 2:13) God’s love is unconditional. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, as a ransom for us. His most treasured possession was what he gave in exchange for our redemption from the shackles of the devil (John 3:16). Despite our every wrongdoing, since the time of Adam, His love never left us. In Romans 5:8, an expression of God’s love was revealed- “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Although God’s love is free and extended to all, it comes with a call to action. In John 3:16, the Bible says “for God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have life eternal”. We are simply to just believe i...
